I finally “unwrapped” my beautiful presents! New for this season are P6910R (will also have AM in 2023!), P7389AM, and P7822R/AM. P7574AM new last year and looking great too. Looking forward to seeing the tons in the pile on Saturday. #chopday #CornInTheNorth @PioneerSeedsCA

Bees are off to a good start despite cool April. Finding hives range from medium strength to very strong. Hive inspections continue.This makes the sting to the bottom lip tolerable! ⁦

A view from a field affected by #tarspot in SW Ontario. In my view this will become the primary defoliating disease of eastern Canadian corn crops and will require management.

Reports of some “willowing” and “brittle snap” in #winterwheat south of us in Ohio following the snow and cold temps of this week. Stopped by my @PioneerSeedsCA #25R74 to inspect.

Pretty much textbook conditions to avoid planting corn into. Cold 🌧 on the way. Thankfully, most soils are not fit so 🚜 are parked in this area. #Plant21

Today was Bill Laskar’s last day at Corteva #WellDeservedRetirement I was fortunate to work with Bill developing and delivering new #PioneerWinterWheat varieties for the Canadian farmer. He was a great wheat breeder and a top notch human being. Congrats Bill! All the best!

A wonderful man who lead Pioneer Hi-Bred by being a tremendous example to staff, sales reps and even our customers. He had such respect for the farmers we serve. Salt of the earth. My condolences to his family. Thomas Urban 1934 - 2020 - Obituary https://t.co/iLZGnNsYEB
