Always enjoy talking to the kids at the Progressive Agriculture Safety Days. Here in Thamesford today having some fun and offering some simple tips to stay safe.

Time to recalibrate what many consider a “big weed that’s going to be hard to kill”. Great comment on growing points Johanna!

Awesome example of the residual strength of Zidua SC, here applied Pre emerge on sand. Nice activity on suppression-only labelled weeds such as lambs quarters, and really solid on Green/Redroot Pigweed and waterhemp in this field. New leader in Gr 15 residuals #basftweets

The #Revylution just got stronger with this new addition to our #Revysol fungicide. With its multiple modes of effective action to take down leaf and ear diseases, #VeltymaDLX protects yield potential and reduces DON contamination to preserve grain quality. #EastCdnAg

#cevya going on last night to control scab, black rot, fly speck, sooty blotch and PM! In addition to 🍎&🍇, #Cevya is also now registered on bulb veg, bush berries, cucurbits veg, bulb veg, fruiting veg and lettuce! 🧅🧄🫐🍓🥒🍉🍅🫑

For variable emergence fields, the fungicide decision is a function of risk assessment & tolerance, grain marketing options, and harvest management. But for evenly emerged stands on all but the heavy clays, I’m convinced we have 2021-type yield potential in place!!! #veltymaDLX

Liberty + Enlist + a 👍👍job of application. 20 DAA. Looks impressive, but never perfect on large fleabane. Plants < 8” are done, >8” regrowing. Spraying late offers large weeds freedom to escape. These plants also escaped MMOEA pre burndown. Large spring rosettes are tough!

Her new office is bigger than my workshop, so I was happy to move this 2-piece maple and resin desk into its new home. Thanks Ann Vermeersch and I hope you enjoy this classy piece and it’s character for a long, long time!

Working on a few things for the John Deere 2-Cylinder Club event next weekend in Princeton. This will include what I hope to be an epic coffee table build that’s been on my gotta-make-one list for a long time.

Well we made this bucket-list build happen, it’s heavy, it’s solid, I’d like to see heavier legs on it, but the clarity we achieved is outstanding. Super Happy with the results! Ready just in time to offer for the John Deere 2-cylinder club show in Drumbo this weekend.

Veltyma check strips starting to show in local fields. Tar Spot and NCLB are infecting the plants with persistent the wet conditions. Exciting to see the protection #Veltyma is providing growers. #ontag

Now is a good time to scout for leaf disease and ear moulds. If silk channel infection did occur, it will show up over the next few weeks. Proper combine settings and early harvest will be important #ontag

Veltyma DLX spray miss showing up very well as the ground sprayer moved around the transmission tower, leaving an untreated area. #Veltyma protecting the corn from Tar Spot and NCLB #ontag

Many agronomists and growers are digging into their 2024 Crop Plans and making decisions on these dreary winter days. So…let’s revisit the subject of weed size whilst we make decisions on residual chemistry, shall we? #ziduasc #layeredresiduals #basftweets

Saturday Project: Finishing up resin coasters with Waterhemp seeds (safest place for them) for #weedgeeks Meagan Ioi (Griffiths) CCA-ON and johanna lindeboom, CCA-ON because you just never know what you might be asked to make next 😂

In all seriousness, myself and the BASF Canada Agricultural Solutions team have used these to demonstrate to our customers the importance of seed bank management w MHR Waterhemp. Depending on the plant, each piece contains 0.5% to 3% of total seed produced per plant. Crazy recruitment ability.

Dandelions flowering today, full 7-10 days b4 normal. Indicator that winter annuals & perennials will be much tougher to kill this spring! Stack effective herbicide MOA’s. Use correct glyphosate rate & surfactant. Pay attention to H20 rate & other coverage considerations.

96,000 views last August, simply overwhelming ☺️ I’ve upgraded the base to a heavier look. Wanna take a run at it? It’s available at Shackleton’s Auctions for the next 10 days. Bid online at shackeltonauctions.hibid.com/catalog/551015… #johndeere #oneofakind

July 9th and silks are out in the Ailsa Craig area! Uneven silking will likely be common this season. These photos were captured all within the same field. #OntAg
