@rgstone1 Definitely. It takes a much lower grade of plastic (thinner) to meet North American domestic shipping standards than ocean transport but a lot that are used are overkill in many cases. Going the extra mile on packaging is an overlooked opportunity for post patent suppliers imo

Trying to win a special edition of one of my favourite book series. But also a good review of some premium edition books if that’s your thing.

128 years ago, a midwestern manufacturer had a weird idea:

To sell more farm tools, they'd start a magazine.

This is the story of John Deere's The Furrow: one of the first (and most successful) pieces of content marketing in history.

Let's start digging. 🚜

@LorneMc @GeralynWichers Key was to give you a deadline earlier than actually required to get it on time. Classic journalist

[Ed White @EdWhiteMarkets]

If I’m not wrong, I didn’t post these @LorneMc pix the other night at #ifaj23. Great to see the dean of Canadian ag photographers getting his due recognition.

@AllamFarmer @LorneMc @RonKrahn @fielddirt Group 2's are a great example of this. Lots of resistance to group 2s but still one of the largest MOA used. I would be so bold to say as one of the reasons glyphosate resistance has been so slow to develop in CAN is due to their mix with gly and their overlapping activity

[Rob McClinton @McClintonR]

@AllamFarmer @LorneMc @RonKrahn @fielddirt I agree. Just because something has resistance doesn’t mean it loses all functionality. There are lots of weeds glyphosate will continue to work on that are unlikely to develop resistance in the near term. Especially used in conjunction with other modes of action

@ErinSchettler Enjoy the change Erin. Look forward to seeing what you get up to next!

@GerhardtMike @pintsizedagro @SunwingVacay Under NOOOO circumstances would a vacation with @SunwingVacay be a good idea.

[Rob McClinton @McClintonR]

Thanks everyone for the support. The family and I rented a car and drove from YWG to YXE. #theresnoplacelikehome

Our flight was supposed to depart from ywg to YXE at 2230 and those that didn’t rent are still waiting. @SunwingVacay

Now to finally do Christmas with the family!

[Rob McClinton @McClintonR]

@pintsizedagro @SunwingVacay Thanks Katie. Couldn’t be happier to be home!

[Rob McClinton @McClintonR]

alarming news from the Check-In line @SunwingVacay in PUJ.

1. lady lost her job due to Sunwing stranding her and WG361 YXE passengers for 8 days.

2. Someone was sent for medical attention in the line. @KevinWaugh_CPC @PremierScottMoe @OmarAlghabra @CBCNews @CTVNews

[Rob McClinton @McClintonR]

@zest2086 @BritniZibin @SunwingVacay @ctvsaskatoon Thanks so much. At ocean El faro. Currently waiting in the airport on a flight. If we get stranded I may need your guidance. Thank you!

[Rob McClinton @McClintonR]

@SunwingVacay @ctvsaskatoon over 130 people from Saskatoon and area have been stranded in Punta Cana for going on 5 days now. All while other passengers in the major markets get home after a day or two delay. We are almost stranded longer than our initial vacation. We need help

[Rob McClinton @McClintonR]

Well it’s officially gotten worse @SunwingVacay. 200 hours delayed. Now Stuck in a sweltering airport. No idea if WG361 is happening. People laying on floor to not get heat exhaustion. people waiting since 6am. @KevinWaugh_CPC @PremierScottMoe @OmarAlghabra @CBCNews @CTVNews

[Rob McClinton @McClintonR]

@KevinWaugh_CPC Nothing. Today was supposed to be the scheduled weekly flight to and from YXE to PUJ and it’s been delayed for 30 hours. Im not sure any Canadian airplane has been delayed for >200 hours like our return flight. Unprecedented. Can you help?

[Rob McClinton @McClintonR]

Milestone day. 130+ hours delayed and counting, 130 people stranded in PUJ from YXE. If we leave today @SunwingVacay did something outside of schedule to get us home. If tomorrow then we take the weekly return flight to Saskatoon @PremierScottMoe @KevinWaugh_CPC @JustinTrudeau
