Kits are almost all gone, but supplies for 100 more will be arriving next week. Let me know if you want to take advantage of free testing this year. Knowing your enemy gives you the upper hand in the battle against herbicide-resistant weeds!

The fire department got called out to a possible grass fire east of Morden this weekend. It was a farmer seeding his field 😅 #duststorm #RainPlease

If my career was dependent on how well I can care for my lawn I would be in trouble 😅

We got out this week to do some hands on drone training. Despite the weather, we were very excited to be learning new skills we can bring to the programs we offer our members!

[Madison Kostal @MadisonKostal]

I was telling my grandpa about spray drones and he goes “I remember when sprayers came out, my dad bought an 80 gallon one”
The amount of innovation that has happened in his lifetime is crazy. Makes me think about the crazy possibilities for ag in my lifetime 🤔🤓

I love hearing from on farm participants and how much they get out of doing these trials. Our goal with these trials is to answer farmers questions and help them make informed decisions.

I had planned to have a productive Sunday but that windstorm last night ripped through our area and took out power in like 5 different spots…. Been off since 2 am with no eta. So I’ll be cocooned in my comforter instead 🥶
