The book of our life has no scrap pages, write with care. The other Book of Life however does have a forgiveness and redemption feature.

@MbPulseGrowers Congratulations Daryl Your knowledge of agriculture and the workings of government was invaluable. Your ability to write research applications moved pulse research ahead by leaps and bounds. I appreciated how you could influence a room. You made my time as a chair enjoyable

@scottscottery That’s where I left them

@Fredmunene_ Looks like a good thing. I don’t disagree with anything you said. I will say that China can stop imports when it is to their advantage. They will use this to pressure countries to do their bidding. Canada has felt this a number of times with canola.

[Calvin Penner @cwjp]

@kpmacmillanUM Soys are done and rolled. Canola should be done later today. There is are fair bit of soil moving on rolled soys. We got lucky and our soys went into standing wheat stubble. Luck not brains. Those fields were too wet to work last fall but today that’s a good thing.

@kpmacmillanUM Good looking family

@SolickSeeds I had one tell me they couldn’t make money farming and have to manufacture with free labour to stay afloat financially. They raise most of their own food and have no labour costs. How do the rest of us do it?

[Calvin Penner @cwjp]

@SolickSeeds I don’t know how efficient colonies are out your way but here they are not always the most efficient. One of the things they worship is shiny paint and have way more equipment and man power than most. It’s funny their crops never look better ham anyone else’s.

@simonmaechling @JoshWalkos As someone who works where there are rodents I would get the hantavirus vaccine and the west Nile virus vaccine and lymes disease virus. If you could combine them in 1 jab

@FarmerMcRae They are law enforcement models. Catch and release

@kowalchukfarms1 @TrochuMotors If you want to use all the HP on the PTO wait for a newer one. The computer derates the HP when you use the PTO so you don’t break the shaft.

Another great season is just around the corner!

OPENING DAY at Scotswood Links is set for: Friday, May 1st 2026

We’re currently hard at work preparing for the season ahead, ensuring every detail is ready for your return.

We look forward to welcoming you out on the course soon!

Except many of these people are so hard-line on what it means to be “regenerative” that it can’t include those of us that use pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or mono-crops. Our soils today are orders of magnitude more productive than they were 30 years ago. We can grow crops on a fraction of the rainfall we used to need. Soil organic matter continues to grow year after year. Soil is stabilized and largely drift proof through our current practices. Our production per energy unit expelled is around half of what it was 30 years ago. To me that’s what screams sustainable and regenerative. Not some adherence to a specific set of practices that comes down to what your politics may be. #Agriculture #WestCdnAg

@kowalchukfarms1 @svhs1985 One of the greatest fallacies of life. “We’re from the government and we’re here to help you”

[Calvin Penner @cwjp]

@Fredmunene_ Isn’t this opposite to what you have said about genetically modified non native plants? Those pictures remind me of our RR resistant soys.

[Calvin Penner @cwjp]

@Fredmunene_ Biologicals have come up short of the claims they make as we have no review system to regulate them in Canada. The research that groups do here shows very little ROI. Be very cautious. Buyer beware!

[Calvin Penner @cwjp]

@Fredmunene_ As a Canadian farmer I cringe when I see someone walking through a field with a backpack sprayer. How do you get the right chemical at the right rate and stay safe? Also just remember that beneficial insects or microbes when released are something you cannot remove.

[Calvin Penner @cwjp]

@Fredmunene_ I often wonder if Africa has a robust chemical review system. Chemicals can be used safely if you use the right chemical at the right time, at the right rate and right place.
