Looking to sell our liquid fertilizer trailer. (Setting up a new one this winter) Keeping the back sump tank. 3500 and 1500 go with it. Very good 24.5 rubber, front and rear lift axles.
Good mechanical condition, getting rusty and the deck is showing it's age. Not sure what it's worth. DM if interested

@dantencer Get him in as soon as you can, he needs his legs back. 11 & 7 now that Brown is out for a few games. It’s unquestionable that your team is better with Ekholm in the lineup.

@Sportsnet Connor McDavod & Roope Hintz aren’t in the same category.. praying for Hintzs’ shin pad 👏

@NHLPlayerSafety Another shining example of how the @NHL is trying to take head injuries seriously & approaching it with a zero-tolerance, consistent approach.

As an @EdmontonOilers fan, it a great era to be teaching my kids which team to cheer for in the Battle of Alberta.

Isn’t this the question that the whole country is wondering about?

There were 27.5M eligible voters for 2021 election. Today 151,900 voted in the Liberal leadership race, 89% for Carney. Meaning Canada’s new PM was voted for by about 130,000 people or 0.475% of the eligible voters.

With a high rate of Metalaxyl, Straxan is an excellent cereal seed treat choice for controlling pythium root rots, which are prevalent when seeding into wet, cold soils like we typically have in North Central Ab.

Start strong, grow stronger with Straxan™ Fungicide Seed Treatment!💪

Early-season seed and soil-borne diseases, like Fusarium spp., can threaten your crop even before it gets a chance to grow. That’s why Straxan provides top-tier protection, ensuring strong, healthy plants to maximize your crop’s stand establishment and yield potential.

Protect your investment from the ground up!

Humic acid addresses several key agricultural challenges by improving soil structure, enhancing nutrient retention, and promoting healthy root development. It helps plants better absorb nutrients, leading to stronger growth and higher yields.

Curious about how humic acid can benefit your farm? Contact your local CMN ag retail location to explore how it can lead to healthier, more productive soil! 🌱

@Sid_Seixeiro The @NHL needs to learn from the NFL here, nobody’s treating Mahomes like that.

@SolickSeeds How can a guy with a pilots license be afraid of heights? Lol

With so many variables that affect crop yields, soil sampling is the most reliable way to understand the nutrient levels remaining in your fields.

Some questions that soil sampling can help you answer include:
- Was a lot of nitrogen lost early due to saturated soil conditions at the end of May/early June?
- Did you grow a big straw crop from early moisture, even though grain yield may have been lower?
- Did you miss out on early rains and think you have a lot of nutrients left in the ground?

Soil sampling is an investment that will assist you in making a solid fertility plan that helps save money and doesn’t leave bushels on the table in 2025.

Contact your local CMN ag retail today to book a fall soil sample or visit https://t.co/DQzNtWZs55.

Calling all canola growers! 👇🏼

As part of our commitment to help farmers like you manage costly diseases on your farm, CMN has embarked on a project to survey fields this fall to better understand the level of blackleg in our area.

Previously conducted in 2020, repeating this blackleg survey will help us to understand changes in blackleg severity, gain an understanding of what management practices may help to reduce blackleg incidence, and try to understand what hybrids may help in minimizing blackleg.

If you’re interested in having us survey one of your fields, reach out your local CMN location today.

@OilersNation How about DeAngelo? Right shot, 28 years old, higher pedigree than those other mentioned. Reputation/Personality not worth the risk?

@LindstromFarms I cut a rubber hose & put over the bar just behind where it bolts to take away the vibration. Hasn’t broke since. Spiral hose protector wrap would work good too.

@pakeha1 @JasonGregor There has to be more upside to whatever Perry is going to offer?

[Steven Cowan @AgroSteve]

@JasonGregor Where do you see Raphael Lavoie long term? Looked like at the start of last year he was close to being ready for everyday NHL. How was he in AHL this year, do you see him challenging for a spot next season?

[Steven Cowan @AgroSteve]

@ChristiFriesen I plan our annual business seminar for @Cropmgmtnetwork. @DamianPMason @AmateurStokGuru @sf28430 were all very well received. We had @shaunhaney this year, tjeres very few if any that are more apprised on current events that are affecting #westcdnag.
