The green graph assumes a farm owned sprayer application cost of $3.62/acre (Sask Farm Machinery guide), the blue graph is a custom ground application cost of $6.50/acre. Trampling losses assumed @ 3%. Bumps are due to rounding to the nearest whole number.

Congratulations to @JaxonHeeney for receiving the 2021 CAAA Agricultural Aviation Scholarship through a glowing recommendation from @iFlyAg_Jon of @WestmanAerial. He intends to use his scholarship toward completing his Ag Pilot Training. https://t.co/nSzhChGRMs.

@DavidSwanton3 Just to balance the conversation at Westman Aerial we do shut down for wind, temperature, and other things that could make the application ineffective. We value all of our customers and have never let the bottom line be our guiding driver during our 30+ years in business.

Too windy to fly so our ground crew is giving all the planes a bath! We'll be back in the air as soon as the weather allows. @WestmanAerial @HeritageCoopLtd #lookinggood

6-12” total since Sunday afternoon depending on which field. The first 1-2” was helpful. Am very concerned for access to our fields and for highways and bridges in the area.

@L_Rossnagel I’m trying to do a better job showing people what our job is like and how we contribute to growing great crops in Canada.

[Jon Bagley @iFlyAg_Jon]

This is what morning coffee looks like in my “office”. Couldn’t be better. #airtractor

[Jon Bagley @iFlyAg_Jon]

First time in years that we have had to spray cutworms in potatoes using Pounce. #FMC #Pounce

[Jon Bagley @iFlyAg_Jon]

Spraying near Rivers for ⁦@RonKrahn⁩ using environmentally and bee friendly #coragen to solve a cutworm problem in sunflowers.

[Ron Krahn @RonKrahn]

@iFlyAg_Jon and @westmanaerial doing their thing. #cutworms #sunflowers. 37 mm on this field this weekend kept me out of the field with our sprayer.

[Jon Bagley @iFlyAg_Jon]

@sprayerguy @chaduthf Sounds perfect

[Jon Bagley @iFlyAg_Jon]

@Aggeez28 @chaduthf Well. I may have to take you up on that.
