@ScottyMoorezy Congratulations, Scott! We’re looking forward to having you on the team!

@johannaburrows @ZRAgri @MdMcLean1 @AdamJPfeffer Absolutely! We haven’t seen very much S response for soybean on mid to fine textured soils, but I would repeat Adam in saying if there’s going to be any response, it would be at this site. The S in kmag is sulphate, which should be available for uptake.

@MichaelReijnen @katsylag In that case, I should be able to pay off this investment pretty quickly then, right?

@ChristinaMol1 No, I don’t have any Northern Ontario soils in this collection.

Our lab has been analyzing the texture of 60 Ontario ag soils I collected for a sulfur soil test trial. After a thorough blend in a mixer, we track how much soil (beginning with sand) falls out of suspension w/ a hydrometer. From each soil we get a texture curve! #soilshakes

@modernfarmer We use a FarmKing 480 rotary cleaner before shipping grain. For seed, we have a Clipper No. 27 (which uses a combo of air and vibrating screens). The rotary is quite a bit faster than the Clipper, but not quite as precise for separating out grain.

@MillstoneCrop That looks great! Was the N from the AMS balanced out in the check strips?

The disappearing family farm is a myth. Farm families still the foundation of the Canadian food system. #food #foodfocus #farm #farming #agriculture #familyfarm https://t.co/omAxNQxaEs

An important note was made in my grad stats class today that correlation does not imply causation. Here are a few examples to enjoy! #stats #mondaythoughts

Preliminary results are in for our corn sulfur trial in Elora. Purple boxes represent treatment averages, blue points represent individual plot values, and bars indicate standard deviation. It appears that there was no response on this site this growing season. #brimstone #ontag

Farmers in several states harvesting 16,000 acres of DNA-altered soybeans to be used in salad dressings, granola bars and fry oil, & sold to consumers early next year. It’s the first commercialized crop created with a tech that could revolutionize ag https://t.co/gW9ad8dgpO

Finished harvesting whole cobs from our corn sulfur trial in Elora. Yield results will be determined after they are dried and shelled. #brimstone #ontag
