When you're evaluating a forage oat crop, what catches your eye?

This field of CDC Haymaker near Laurier, MB is checking all the boxes!
✅ Plant height
✅ Broad leaves
✅ Crop lushness

Early-season growth like this is what forage producers are looking for. Are you growing CDC Haymaker this season?

Wet conditions can favour midge activity, so if you haven't already, get your traps set and keep scouting!

This video is a great reminder that protecting midge tolerant wheat takes ongoing research and long-term investment. @TylerWist1 #PlantBreedingMatters

[Seed World Canada @SeedWorldCAN]

Before midge tolerant wheat, yield losses of up to 90% were possible.

Today, the Sm1 gene is helping keep wheat midge in check. But relying on one line of defense is risky.

@TylerWist1 says Canada needs continued investment in wheat midge research and a refuge system breeders can actually afford to use.

Canada's seed sector faces no shortage of big challenges. New @Seedgrowers president Shannon Bieman says the answer starts with something simple: listening better.

From regulation to innovation, collaboration will be key.

Grain Farmers of Ontario’s Director of Research & Innovation, Josh Cowan, PhD, discusses why public investment in Eastern Canadian plant breeding is key to keeping Ontario farmers competitive. #OntAg

[Ontario Federation of Agriculture @OntarioFarms]

🇨🇦🌾 This Canada Day, we celebrate the nearly 50,000 farms across the province, the 867,000+ people who help move food from field to fork , the 200+ agri-food products grown right here at home, and our 38,000 OFA members who work tirelessly to feed our province, our country, and the world. 🌍

Canada is rooted in agriculture 🌱 Let's keep growing!

Congratulations to Dr. Brian Rossnagel for his induction into the @CdnAgHall in 2026.

CDC Austenson feed barley is one of the most popular barley varieties ever produced.

In Canada, wheat production out West is 10x higher than in the East.

That means there's a gap that decides who can afford to breed eastern crops.

Hear from Josh Cowan of @GrainFarmers on why public investment has to help fill that gap.

Happy Canada Day! 🍁

As we celebrate, remember one more July 1 tradition: growers across western Canada, make sure to set your #MidgeBusters traps!

See in-field wheat midge scouting and get a glimpse of new AI-powered traps helping to shape the future of monitoring. @TylerWist1

Thank you to the University of Guelph Wheat Breeding Program for hosting another fantastic field day!

It was great to connect with researchers, students, growers, and industry partners while exploring the latest in wheat breeding and innovation. #PlantBreedingMatters @uofg @UofGuelphOAC

🚁 First drone update from our Pense research site!

This year’s demo: 7 durum, 12 spring wheat, and 8 barley varieties—including several brand-new lines not yet grown by our seed growers.

More updates to come throughout the season 🌾

What does strong soybean emergence look like?

At the Elora Research Station, Mathew Hooyer takes a closer look at two new conventional soybean varieties featuring proven OAC Strive genetics and Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) resistance.

See how they're shaping up in the OSACC trials and why these new genetics are generating excitement.

AAC Westking hard red spring wheat looking gorgeous in SW Sask. Should have good certified seed if all continues well for spring 2027. @SeCan @SeCan_lauren

[Seed World Canada @SeedWorldCAN]

When Mark Keating (@KeatingSeed) started farming with @KeatingSeedCorp, the hardest part was labor.

35 crops in, it’s the financial math.

His worry: Canada is falling behind on the genetic tools growers need to stay competitive.

[SaskBarley @SaskBarley]

As barley starts to head out, keep your eyes peeled for risks of Fusarium Head Blight as you scout this summer. 👀 🌾

Here's what to watch for:
- FHB risk map
- canopy remains wet late in the day
- rain and wind that can move spores to the heads

⌛ Spray timing is essential to minimizing the damage FHB can inflict on a field. Apply your fungicide quickly AFTER heads have emerged from the boot to ensure full coverage and protection.
