It's what I do...I farm and I know things.

@SeCanLauren @SeCanTodd @SeCan here’s a couple great newer oat varieties! AAC Neville, a short, yellow hulled white groat milling oat and yield winner of Ag Canada Melfort and Indian Head oat variety trials in 2024. Also coming soon is AAC Fedak, a white hulled milling oat.

@SeCanLauren @SeCanTodd @SeCan CDC Durango or Austenson 2.0. New to the Feed/forage barley market. And CDC Churchill malt barley. Biggest yielder in the book and growing market acceptance.

The season started very dry in NE Sask, but late moisture and cooler temps have aided crop development. AAC Starbuck VB, always a strong CWRS performer and the new AAC Stoughton VB, a very high yielding HRS wheat from #SECAN

@mattgallowaycbc I attended Second City comedy in Toronto. During an improve set where the asked for a major event prompt from the audience, I threw out colonoscopy. The 20 something comedians had no relatable context that an older comedian would have. It was hilarious.

@loopholefarms @wanyeburkett I remember getting a call from stats Canada during a difficult harvest asking about hours worked in the last week. I told him 138 hrs this past week. It took him about 5 sec to respond with “are you serious?!?” He called back every 4 weeks for the next 6 months. Grain dryers 😡.

Rogued the plot yesterday. Noticeably shorter than Starbuck even. Very little leaf disease and heads look very thick. I’m optimistic!

@SeCan @SeCanLauren new AAC Stoughton VB CWRS wheat has had a great start! Early August and is standing poker straight and even.

North of town by Warrens yard. West of Backus’s if you want a gander.

New AAC Neville oats. We’ve been looking for a short-straw, high yielding , high beta glucan oat - we may have found it! Yellow hull but white groat.

[Grover Ryan Heavin @RyanHeavin]

@SeCan @SeCanLauren the next great malt variety. I think so! Yields as good or better than even the top feed varieties! CDC Churchill has potential.

CDC Durango feed/forage barley standing tall and strong! NE Sask.

@loopholefarms You probably washed your truck too.

@loopholefarms What are bin lids?

@CWSS_SCM @2020SeedLabs @CortevaCA Think it’s spruce holding up barnyard grass. Can tell if it’s white or blue spruce.
