With #StripeRust moving back into the province, we thought we would share our variety rankings vs the disease. Remember, strains can change - there is no confirmation if this is the same strain as previous years. #ResearchPays#SeriousWheat
With recent increase in futures market, sw ont growers can book to sell 2025 Hard Red Winter for north of $10.00/bu. Buyers in the article. Pretty respectable place to start a plan! ๐ฅ๐๐ฐ๐ Ontario Grown, Ontario Milled. #wheat#ontag

Another #SeriousWheat plot in the ground today. Fert in row, seed adjusted to approximately 2M seeds/acre for each variety. Excellent planting conditions. Even had a few extra helpers today. @WheatTeam_Tim@RoboCrop_#John.

For those attending #COFS22, please be advised that some road construction is occurring on roads approaching Canada's Outdoor Farm Show and may cause delays.

@eckertacresltd Another thought, maybe goes without saying, but using a screen at drill entry will be smart. Sometimes accidental fert chunks sneak though and block tower/runs. Wee bit slower filling, but blockages equal top level cursing.
@eckertacresltd Also want to understand the maximum flow possible though drill. Sometimes getting up over 200 lbs/ac of material is causes headaches.
(And starting with certified seed is never a bad idea ๐)
@eckertacresltd Have heard/seen it done a few different ways. Majority of cases, the seed placed phos should be a noticeable benefit. (Benefits smaller if manure history, high soil P, and target early planting). Mixing 1:3 ratio MAP:seed good start. Auger mixing will work.
@WheatTeam_Tim and I had a good boss checking our numbers today to make sure this wheat plot checks out. Good yields! #SeriousWheat#HRW#SRW Thanks @NWCoop for the weigh wagon use!
I just want to thank the teams from Muellensteen Tire and Tirecraft for their valued help at pulling off an excellent compaction event at Perth today. Couldnโt do it without their technical knowledge and willingness to sweat with the rest of us weighing up equipment.
