@critcher_irmi Enjoy the view and the warmer weather. I think we all have cabin fever with this long cold stretch but it’s finally warmed up a bit here.

@LflLarry Our Condolences Larry.

@redwoodacres I have a line going across my farm this summer too. I’m not against them building the line but I feel the same way, our soil is our livelihood. I asked for ag lime to be added when they reclaim it, they wouldn’t go for that but we will see how it goes, it’s not done yet.

Seeding Pioneer Liberty Link test plot today with Wilder Creek Ranch, in the Peace River Valley.
Planted P501L, P509L, P506ML, P505MSL and a BASF competitor. Excellent moisture and job Well done, Colin!!!

BioSul blades on the spreader and started hauling BioSul out of FSJ. Cheapest Sulphur on the market, great for soil health ( no salt) and get AMS out of the drill. 70% Elemental Sulphur / 30% compost.

[Les Willms @leswillms]

Great product that’s blended right here in FSJ. I’ve always wanted to get ahold of the sulphur coming out of the local gas plants so for me this was easy. Get the high salt AMS out of the drill and be more efficient... call or message me for more info on the product in FSJ .

Have you seen and heard enough to make a decision about Bio-Sul?

If not, here is 85% of what you need to know in < than 15 minutes

@MountLiming Well done!! What’s your spinner speed and spread width? We’re just starting to get some lime down on the Canadian Prairies.

[Les Willms @leswillms]

Lime demo today went well. Spread 30t on 21 acres in 120 foot strips in 3 fields, summerfallow, barley stubble and Canola stubble. Went down at 1.4t/acre. Look forward to seeing results in next crops. #aglime #plant21

[Les Willms @leswillms]

@BSchoorlemmer Yes it’s available the first year. Guidelines are blended must be at least a month old, mixed sulphur/compost. And enough elemental S is converted. The 30% compost is holding lots of available S . We’ve applied to canola post seeding.

[Les Willms @leswillms]

It’s one of the last good days to spread BioSul. The big freeze is coming.. BioSul is a sulphur fertilizer made of of waste products using elemental S and compost. Blended right here in FSJ. This customer won’t need any S for the next 5 years.

@Mmeek58 @KimSchoorlemmer It was a pleasure to tour and weigh your canola this summer. Some of the best canola in the country right here in our Peace valley.

[Les Willms @leswillms]

@critcher_irmi @PioneerSeedsCA @CortevaCA @Mmeek58 @KimSchoorlemmer @Hockwa The sandy soil in the valley could handle all the rain. On dry years it gets to hot and dry down there. It’s amazing the variables across our region. That hybrid is perfect for that climate. Feed it, weed it and watch it grow is every farmers dream.

[Les Willms @leswillms]

Pioneer’s Hybrid 45CS40 weighed in at 75.1 Bushel/acre. Great canola crop on the banks of the Peace River, in Fort St John, growen by Blane and Colin Meek of Wilder Creek Ranch. @PioneerSeedsCA #yieldhero20 @CortevaCA @Mmeek58 @KimSchoorlemmer @Hockwa

[Les Willms @leswillms]

We knew this crop had potential in July. And the Sclerotinia resistance of the 45CS40 kept the crop healthy and locked in yield.
