I haven't seen such pronounced FHB symptoms since 2016. I am pleased because this year we initiated several long-term disease study projects @IrrigateSask, and the high disease pressure will be beneficial for evaluating our treatment strategies. Project funded by @SaskPulse

If you are out combining canola please direct message me with the seeding date, harvest date and legal land location for that feild. Thanks!! I though I would repost this now that people are out harvesting canola (and have harvested). This would help out research!

[Eric Johnson @ericagro82]

@AgroRigas Congratulations Rigas and thanks for all you have done! Pleasure working with you for the majority of those 50 years!

[Steve Shirtliffe @ProfAgronomy]

Hey Farmers! Would you be willing to share your canola seeding & harvest dates with us (any years after 2016)? Our @SaskCanola project use sat data to stage canola and needs ground data. Please DM us with: seeding & harvest date and legal land loc. Thanks & please retweet!

[Eric Johnson @ericagro82]

@SKweedgeek @CWSS_SCM I'm pretty sure it was Gerry Ivany from PEI who did the cutting.
