@KodyBloisNS @CPC_HQ @FVGC_PFLC Respectfully, from the article quoted:

"Jivani said his petition does not include temporary workers in the agricultural sector. He suggested that seasonal agricultural workers should be under a separate program."

Any CDN FARMERS who would be willing to try and set up a smallish adhoc group of farmers with the intent of attempting to collect thousands of individual farmer endorsements quickly somehow to give an enormously large endorsement of @PierrePoilievre for Prime Minister? #cdnpoli

[Adam Shea @FarmingForYou]

@farmerschneck Absolutely, I figure as far as father-son screw-up tally scoring goes, that should grace you 6 months worth of your own goof ups that you don't have to hear about. Right? Isn't that how that works? 😂

An elephant intentionally steps on your foot, even though you were just standing there minding your own business. Well actually, maybe you irritated it a bit, but this elephant is a bit chaotic at times, & has a troubled home life. It does end up breaking your foot. Do you...

Poilievre goes NUCLEAR on Trump and Trudeau

@albadonadam @3furrowsjd If you have a login for the MYCNHI website, you can throw your serial number in there to save it in 'your shed'. Makes parts look up fairly easy. I think CNHI could improve it greatly, but it works.

Trudeau and the Liberal gov't has left Canada to wither and wane for 3 months likely during the most critical period in Canada-US relations in 10-15 years. #cdnpoli

Trudeau declares January 6th as new Groundhog day. He saw his shadow this morning, prorogues parliament.
Unaccountable government and PM for 12 more weeks.

Things to look at on your YEN report.

1. How many heads per square meter do you have? If it’s not over 700, why not?

How many seeds are you dropping to get the heads you are getting? There is about 4047 square meter per acre, so if dropping 1.6 million seeds, then you are dropping 393 seeds per sq. meter.

Say 650 heads per 393 seeds means 1.5 heads per seed. If every seed was viable you have less than 1 tiller per plant. Normal from my experience is 2 to 2.5 heads per viable plant (1 to 1.5 tillers) when planted a week after the optimal seed date.

If your below this 800 heads per sq m, need to dig into why you have such poor performance on the seed establishment. Usually it’s related to drill maintenance and field setup, or perhaps your seed rate is too low for the date if past the optimal planting date and/or lack of in-furrow starter P.

2. Look at your Nitrogen tests, and grain protein results. Should be approaching 10% protein in SRW if you had optimal N rates for the yield potential. Above average yield potential may require higher N rates. Ideally spilt apply on growing crop ahead of light to moderate rain event.

3. Look at N:S ratio, will provide an indication if enough S is being applied to meet protein formation. If S deficient, plants are not responsive to additional N, and higher rates will not increase yields.

4. Check Phosphorus values in soil, tissue, grain tests. P drives energy accumulation, and helps to promote tillering. If low P testing soil and no starter P, expect to see reduced tillering and less thrifty plants, especially when planting is delayed.

@farmerschneck This is how we select new finance ministers now.

[Adam Shea @FarmingForYou]

No wonder not a single soul wants to even pretend to be finance minister today.
This Fall Economic Statement and deficit is so radioactively bad for the government that nobody wants to present it, talk about it, or respond to questions about it!☢️☢️☢️#cdnpoli

[Philip Lawrence @PLawrenceCAN]

🚨BREAKING🚨

We have the numbers. No wonder they put off the "Fall" Economic Statement until December.

The deficit hits $61.9 BILLION.

That's more than $20 billion over the Liberal's fiscal guardrails.

For farmers planning to graze corn stover this year, here are some good tips by James Byrne, OMAFA Beef Cattle Specialist. #beef #grazing

Stripe Rust spotted in the Lindsay area today also.

[James D'Aoust 🌽 @Cheech_Cheech]

Stripe Rust found in the Port Hope area this morning. Strongly encourage you to scout your wheat ahead of T3 fungicides and choose your products wisely to stay on top of this devastating disease. Reconsider if you were thinking of skipping this pass. @PioneerSeedsCA

@Aaron_Bowman_ Would winter triticale be any more palatable at that stage?

[Adam Shea @FarmingForYou]

@glaqua @maxfawcett We don't swath any wheat in Ontario. We sometimes get frequent rains during harvest and we must harvest at higher moistures to preserve quality. So no not all wheat is dried but not an insignificant amount.

[Dale Mountjoy @dalemountjoy]

@feedn4kids @FarmingForYou @maxfawcett Almost all corn fields you see from the highways and roads plus a large percentage of the soybean and wheat fields you see from the car windows will see a dryer at harvest which uses propane or natural gas subject to full carbon tax !!

[Adam Shea @FarmingForYou]

@maxfawcett Durham Region also grew about 62,000 acres of grain corn, which was over 276,000 metric tonnes.
This is a greatly important agricultural riding with a very large urban populous. The city meets farmland so to speak.

[Adam Shea @FarmingForYou]

@maxfawcett Durham Region grew 20,000 acres of winter wheat last year. 1.6 million bushels = 42,500 metric tonnes. Based on the predominant type of wheat, most would have been made into cookies, crackers etc. BUT to put that into perspective, that's roughly 72 to 100 MILLION loaves of bread.
