@kowalchukfarms1 Looks amazing John! A perfect post-harvest adventure

[Jay Whetter @KenoraJay]

I’m in Africa (Kenya) for the first time and at my first International Federation of Agriculture Journalists @IFAJ conference.

Thx to @CdnFarmWriters and @Bayer4CropsCA for the support.

Here I am with a few Canadian reps. Agenda includes farm tours…so better photos to come!

@WheatGeerJJ Nice looking swath too

@kowalchukfarms1 @KodyBloisNS John, I shared this with my MP - a Winnipeg Liberal. Thanks for doing the math.

[Jay Whetter @KenoraJay]

@FoodProfessor @tobandyck Thank you for the mention @FoodProfessor . That must have been an interesting conversation.

[Jay Whetter @KenoraJay]

@tobandyck As weird as I look in that video, at least you didn’t show my 20-yarder.

[Jay Whetter @KenoraJay]

I work primarily in print, but not entirely. I’m not crazy.

Reading this article from @thewalrus https://t.co/221Azs5RDj made me think about reaching farmers.

Is there a better way than print to connect with the greatest number of farmers? Twitter isn’t it.

“We are all participants in building better models.”

Steven Rayan from ⁦⁦@quanTA_USask⁩ shared this line in a keynote at the ⁦@SWC_Can⁩ conference in Saskatoon this month.

A simple encapsulation of ambition, improvement, collaboration. https://t.co/9y90x07szD

[Jay Whetter @KenoraJay]

@charlotte_gill Thank you Charlotte for including my article in your list. I feel so blessed to have been part of the program. Yes, I learned a lot. I also bonded with 10 new friends.

[Jay Whetter @KenoraJay]

@tobandyck Scary scene. Good video though. You can feel the heat.

[Clinton Jurke @JurkeonCanola]

I was checking harvest losses on the weekend. One combine was throwing out 6bu/ac.

Farmers, what is an acceptable amount of loss when harvesting canola?

[Jay Whetter @KenoraJay]

@WheatGeerJJ @lavoyfarmer @DeanALES_UofA @MattyGee07 @thebender7 @BrianABCS @JessikaGuse @hugewalleye @MichealWpf @Tippen22 That 177 is phenomenal!

[Jay Whetter @KenoraJay]

@WheatGeerJJ @MattyGee07 @Tippen22 @MichealWpf @DeanALES_UofA @BrianABCS @hugewalleye @thebender7 @JessikaGuse @lavoyfarmer Thanks John. Nice to be back after a string of dud weeks
