CCA, Diploma in Plant & Soil Science from Lethbridge College, Crop Production Advisor for Nutrien Claresholm, farm east of Stavely, AB. Tweets are my own.
If considering growing cover crops & you’re being told to apply 10lbs P/K or less:
You need cover. You need fast germ/establishment in stressful conditions. Thats P & K.
Mining is fine in surplus/strategically.
We don’t have surplus P.
K in forages often not surplus either
We’re hiring! With the promotion of @tylerunser to Branch Manager at our Vauxhall location, we have an opening fora Crop Production Advisor! #LeadingTheField#westcdnag#agronomy https://t.co/sQQOkRxcmm
Measured 50” snowfall at 630 pm in Hamburg, NY outside the gas station along I90. Found a unimpeded flat area with wind coming from right side of this image. There are areas with more but I could not burrow far enough to reach those locations. @accuweather@NWSBUFFALO@JLAngeline
We’re off!
First @ProvenSeed trial is underway near Barons. CDC Flare CL checks in at 51bu dryland to the 50bu check.
If you have group 2 carryover concerns for #plant23, CDC Flare CL is the only Clearfield Durum available for #westcdnag#LeadingTheField
Yearly reminder panic herbicide sprays at late flag will not control weed escapes.
Assess, document & make a plan starting with fall burndown. Don’t jeopardize yield/MRL issues on revenge sprays. Weed issues didn’t show up in 1 yr, we won’t solve them in 1 yr either

Do you know anyone looking for a summer position? We’re currently seeking a student in ag who would like to try their hand at ag retail. Give the office a call and ask for Tanner or Tom to ask any questions. https://t.co/Do2kKjdHKm
I tank mixed Pfizer and Moderna and am substituting whisky for my phenoxy so I should be protected against the Omicron right @NufarmCA??? #MultipleModesOfAction
It's been a long day/week/month/year. I'm going to close the week with this:
Make the #fertilizer decisions that are right for your operation.
What works for your neighbor may not work for you. Remove emotion and make the best business decision for YOUR farm.
WHOA!
Here's a high-resolution satellite image of the dust storm I documented east of Claresholm on April 1!
Burn scar pattern also indicative of strongly wind-driven surface fire.

The heavy rain the past few days has been a blessing for southern Alberta. However we now have severe risk for FHB in crops which are coming into head. Check the @AlbertaWheat FHB risk models or talk to your @Coop_Ag Grow Team Agronomist.
