@globeandmail Any company even considering building any pipeline in this country after the Energy East, Northern Gateway, and Keystone XL disasters that cost billions because if idiotic regulation should have their head examined while the same party as before is still in charge,

@SaskFarmer12 Congrats guys!

Location change for Thursday's AGM! The tour is leaving from the Redvers Golden Age Center at about 2:30. AGM and supper will be at the Golden Age Center instead of in the tent.

[Lana at SE Research Farm @SE_ResearchFarm]

Hey people - text Katie to RSVP for next Wed Field Day!
We're doing a test run of smoked chicken drums and putting up the big tent today. We're assuming people will show up but please send a text so we can prepare.

@TroyLaForge You will see the N mineralization go into over drive following the drought. The N burst can be considerable.

[Edgar Hammermeister @Edgar_Hammer]

@CanolaWatch @gabertccc It is a "Brown" probe.

[Edgar Hammermeister @Edgar_Hammer]

@bradschneider8 Depending on the location, there could be greater N mineralization following the dry conditions than most farmers think.

@meg_bourns Good luck with your season Megan!

@TerryDaynard 3 of 3, I guess.
Fortunately, there are tools available to farmers to help them in that decision making process.

[Edgar Hammermeister @Edgar_Hammer]

@TerryDaynard 2 of 2 or 3.
Understanding a soil's N mineralization potential, and how it relates to the growing season weather, will go a long way to addressing the issue.

[Edgar Hammermeister @Edgar_Hammer]

@TerryDaynard 1 of 2 or3. Terry, you're correct in flagging the challenge in predicting in which year reductions in N fertilizer are appropriate.

[Edgar Hammermeister @Edgar_Hammer]

@SaskFarmer12 Hi Jordie. Depends on the rate. If you can spare, a tank then 10-15 lb actual can be helpful. Otherwise, you need to pay attention to safe application rates.

[Edgar Hammermeister @Edgar_Hammer]

@Elliott_R_H @SKAgrologists @SaskPolytechnic @blake_weiseth Likewise. Good job Blake!

[Edgar Hammermeister @Edgar_Hammer]

@meg_bourns @KStateAgron Congratulations Megan! Keep up the good work.

[Edgar Hammermeister @Edgar_Hammer]

@NiehoffFred @agronomistag What is not shown in the soil test result is the +/- to that data point by the scientific method. Also, something that is under appreciated is the large variability that exists in the soil over short distances.

[Edgar Hammermeister @Edgar_Hammer]

@weber4farms @aberhartag @crop_aid @306Ag And some balanced fertility! ;)
