Multiple calls this morning from clients letting us know that some fields were sprayed this morning. Really appreciate the heads up so our agronomists can respect REI (re entry intervals). Quick look at the labels and we know if we can enter safely. @CropLifeCanada
Sincere "Thank You" to the many farms that have allowed us to set up replicated trials in their fields. The last few weeks have been crazy and exciting. Looking forward to observing growth, harvesting the crop, and analyzing results. The learning never stops. #nofoofoodust
A hundred different thoughts and all are likely correct. While some farmers are nicely getting going others are hoping these clouds will develop into a multi day rain. We are surprised at the variability in soil moisture from field to field.
Checking planters of many types for accuracy is a daily occurrence for our agronomists. This one is 💯 for depth and placement of sugar beet seed. @asbg
@trouttroller Lol. Yup. Selling a truckload of product was no big deal at 10 acres/case. Spraying Mataven was a commitment to excercise. No totes. No chem handlers. No pumps. Hand bomb everything to top of sprayer. Way more fun handling Glean.
Canada Foodgrains project is being seeded into durum. This drill is doing a great job of placing the seed into moisture. Many local farms and industry businesses are supporters. We're proud to be one the supporters. https://t.co/h7Q2GDVjcX @Foodgrains
@sjmatichuk Potato seed pieces, after cutting. Size profile has an effect on both planter performance and ultimately harvested size profile. Many evaluations of cutters and planters are done daily by our agronomists.
@FungusAmungus3@bugs5132 Thank you very much for your commitment and dedication to the agriculture industry. You have been a tremendous resource for us and many, many others. Good luck to you in the next chapter Kelly.
The learning never stops. We're taking in Conferences in other Provinces and States this week. Appreciate the opportunities to increase knowledge levels.
@breannetidemann Tough day. You and your work have been a tremendous resource. For that we are thankful. Best of luck with your decision. I hope you continue to chase your dream and that our paths cross again. Thanks Breanne.
