Dresden, Ont. farmer Mark Richards is building a planter for all crops. He planted soybeans with it last week. Winter wheat in the fall. Check it out on Soybean School @realagriculture @Maizex @LallemandPC_CAN https://t.co/xWABCMToRF

The other night we had the chance to test the Verdant SharpShooter at Sandy Shore Farms! By filling the spray tank with bright dye, we were able to use UV lights to see exactly where spray was applied, giving us a better understanding of sprayer function and target accuracy.

Drone research season is upon us once again.

Drones will require carefully considered compromises in broad acre applications. The research helps frame the limits of practical operational settings and effective agronomic uses.

Here's a new finding:

[Agricultural Adaptation Council (AAC) @adaptcouncil]

Ontario’s Increasing Deadstock Capacity Initiative has helped farmers manage livestock mortalities safely, responsibly, and sustainably – protecting animal health, the environment, and the food supply we all rely on. With support for 41 projects across the province, farmers and agri-businesses have improved how they handle, transport, and process deadstock – using practical solutions like on-farm composting and upgraded equipment. The result? A more resilient livestock sector and safer, more sustainable communities across Ontario. Learn more about how this initiative is making a difference: https://t.co/ASkn4JAEiR

@Plantmore1 @nozzle_guy @LowBoomLowDrift @charlesmgeddes So IMO Tom is correct that when talking about mutations sublethal doses is less of a concern. However, there is growing concern about sub lethal doses increasing development of metabolic resistance. The other issue for me with sublethal doses is it means the plant doesnt die…

[The Grower @growernews]

Now’s the time to think through a fungicide program with resistance management in mind. Drew Thompson @ADAMA_CAN explains how Folpan 80 WDG fits in. It’s a multi-site fungicide that works in crops that range from grapes & apples to cucurbits & strawberries https://t.co/AEOXVlP4T5

🚨It's GO time for #Plant26, with farm equipment traveling the roadways to plant the seeds that ultimately feed the world!

⚠️The long weekend means more traffic on the roads. When you encounter farm equipment, remember to:
- Be patient
- Stay vigilant
- Reduce speed
- Respect lanes
- Prioritize safety

Behind the wheel of that tractor is a family’s irreplaceable loved one. A few minutes of patience saves lives.

Together, we can ensure everyone gets home safely. #ruralON #ontag

[The Grower @growernews]

Be vigilant for early stage nymphs of the spotted lanternfly from May-July. Egg masses may be detected year-round. Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed that 12 dead spotted lanternflies were intercepted in St. Catharines in March 2026 @grapegrowersont

🚜 Have you spotted the slow-moving vehicle (SMV) sign on Ontario roads this planting season?

That orange triangle is a reminder to slow down, stay patient, and share the road safely with farmers working hard to plant the crops that feed our communities.

Let’s all do our part to help everyone get home safely this #plant26 🌱

To limit the spread of avian influenza and keep your flock safe, be sure to keep domestic poultry separated from wild birds during high-risk periods, like spring migration.

Here in Ontario, there's a tale of 2 springs for apple growers: sw orchards are ahead by 10 days, eastern orchards are normal. Excellent article by @FruitWiTheSpurs and @AppleOfMyIPM. Link here: https://t.co/hcvlH93OvS @growernews

Made some modifications to the FarmDroid robot. Pretty much ready for #plant26. Back to the onion fields for this robot. Trying for a doubling of seeding speed this year

Our long-awaited best practices white sheet for pesticide application by drone. Detailed enough to be actionable, but not so overly prescriptive that it's obsolete in a week. Hopefully accessible to new applicators and to pros.
