Look for the Ag-Quest team at Ag In Motion this week - we are available to discuss Crop Plot Services at AIM, research trial needs, and demo services to begin planning for fall 2024 and spring 2025 needs.

@TheComino So the Universities and funding would have to be majorly sorted out to make that a possibility.

The private industry outcompeted AAFC and Universities in canola. Yes it took investment. They could do it again in wheat and other crops.

@TheComino Bill McGregor and I met with the Dean of ALES at UAlberta when I was at Dow, they were considering removing ag from the faculty name. We warned them no one would take them seriously in ag if they did. They risked turning their back on a major industry then. Could again.

Special thanks to SCDL for the great job pouring the pad for our new lab and seed processing building at the Saskatoon Station.  We are very excited for the extra space!

[Ag-Quest @agquestresearch]

Seeding before the storm on Wednesday (May 15th) @AginMotion. Consider Ag-Quest for all of your plot needs next season at AIM!

@ReemWheat @wheat_dr Did you focus on SK, or pull in the whole Prairies in for this?

[Dana Maxwell @Acanolaprincess]

@breannetidemann Every control method we apply is a selection method for a new resistance. We are all plant breeders of the next generation of weeds.

If we apply consistent selection methods, we shouldn't be surprised with what we get. If we mix up our selection methods, we have a better shot

[Resistant Wild Oat Action Committee @RWildOat]

Have you recently receive your herbicide resistance test results back and thought "well that's interesting... now what?". Never fear! We've got info to help you take those results and move forward. See how to put the results in context here: https://t.co/j1zATTQoCU 1/2

Check out the Fraser Auction sale - my sister has put some good equipment in that the farm isn't currently needing

[Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation @AlbertaAg]

@MBonvoyAssist I was not able to report either missing stay, because the Marriott properties weren't present in the list on the form and I couldn't proceed without selecting a property.

[Dana Maxwell @Acanolaprincess]

@MBonvoyAssist I am missing multiple stays from the last year, and a credit for issues during my last stay. I can't submit on the Missing Stay form, because neither hotel is in the dropdown. Why is it so hard to get a hold of someone to resolve this?

[Dana Maxwell @Acanolaprincess]

@MBonvoyAssist I tried to DM you. My Twitter account got locked and it deleted my message. I still don't have a response to the request for help I submitted on the website. Is there not a phone number I can call for help, to talk to a person?

[Dana Maxwell @Acanolaprincess]

@mzienkie @SeedWorldCAN Always a pleasure to catch up!
