Another exceptional red clover stand in a field where wheat ran >100 bu.

Knee high soys with excellent pod counts. I’ve got chest high fields with half the pods. Soybeans are the greatest liars.

Running the planter shallow over the corn row works to break crust. Left side 13,000. Right side 31,250 plants/ac. Corn was not close to emergence. Row cleaners and closing wheels did most of the crust busting.

Notice how there is more space between spikelets during flowering (right) compared to Day 0 on the left. This helps spray coverage.

This is my third time coming to this field. Grower really wanted to replant. Finally reached 100k and more are coming. The heat is bringing on the PUSH! Soys are slower near Lake Huron, where we had north winds last week. Dig and discover!

Providing some balance to Twitter... it’s not all perfect soil conditions out there. Many Lambton growers found it wasn’t as fit as they thought.

I did not expect Acuron at 1.6L/AC to be this good on knee high fleabane in notill corn. First choice was dicamba but wasn't willing to take the risk in late June, early July.

If scouting fields is your bread and butter, you should look for a mid sized ATV. My 570 Outlander fits nicely down 30, 20, and 15” rows.

Mn deficiency in soybeans. July is a good time to address. There’s more leaf area to capture the foliar application. Mn is immobile in the plant.

You wouldn’t know n/c corn is >$7 and n/c soy is >$17 with the amount of weeds in many corn and soys right now. What happened to the critical weed free period?

Another successful Mn correction with Manganese Sulphate @ 6 lbs (1.9 actual) on muck soil. Before during and after. Well done

I scouted a pile of wheat today. It’s getting dry but we still have tremendous yield potential. It is hard to find the rows in most fields. I almost fall over in early wheat with a PGR. 💪

120 acres of extremely uniform wheat. No holes, nutrient deficiency, or soil/variety changes. Perfect location for a Miravis Ace + NIS vs. Prosaro XTR head to head in about 3 days.

Yellowing, almost white wheat that looks similar to frost injury? This is Manganese deficiency. No surprise considering the drier spring.

The story changes when speaking to an industrial crowd that could potentially move to the US. I can’t wait for him to announce no more masks in schools.

The Prosaro XTR vs. Caramba vs. Miravis Ace + NIS field still looking hot🔥. Table top uniformity. Good background fertility and MAP infurrow. All treatments look healthy so far. Pulling out the drone in 2 weeks.

We are approaching T3 in wheat. I guarantee there will be mistakes. Do NOT confuse Miravis Ace with Miravis Neo nor Prosaro Pro and Prosaro XTR.
Miravis ACE needs NIS
Prosaro Pro needs NIS
Do NOT add NIS to Prosaro XTR or Caramba.

Scouting some fantastic wheat today. This grower decided last fall to get the wheat custom planted to get MAP in-furrow. I don’t think they’ll regret it.

Added 89mL/ac Lontrel XC to Acuron. Quite happy with what it’s doing to the Canada thistle in this notill corn.

I can hardly believe my eyes. This field had very little rain until recently. It also had early season off target dicamba injury. It seemed like it took forever to close the canopy in notill corn stalks. OAC Brutons planted early May at R5 stage near Brigden.

Corn looked great last week and then it’s like a switch goes off at V3. Struggling roots partly due to dry clay, has caused the corn to go purple. Some hybrids showing it worse than others.

Nice day at the beach… I mean Caradoc sand. New purchase last year. It’s going to see a lot of corn and manure. I’m thankful the grower chose not to do any fall tillage after black beans.

Lots of ugly soybeans in the rain zones. Compaction, saturated soil, wet feet, fewer nodules, fewer white roots, more purple stem discolouration from phytophthora root rot etc etc. 🤢

Out soil sampling today. I’m amazed by these giant straw piles. Signs of hard work. As one seller put it, “the moss doesn’t grow under their feet”

Fall spraying is so rewarding. Here is a triangle miss full of chickweed, dandelion and fleabane.

Some September wheat following early harvest sugarbeets is at GS31 already. Wow!
We have to be ready with crop protection but watch night time temperatures.
This field might get growth regulator tomorrow. 19 plants per ft of row with 6 tillers per plant.

This may be the last frost seeding opportunity for a while. I’m hoping to have a big day spreading dry land on Monday. The APV and I are getting along.

This field was just harvested last night. Volunteer wheat already growing. Another reason to harvest wheat when weather permits and pay the drying charge. Seeds had fallen out of the head.

Yesterday's 24hr total rainfall was 1.7" west of Forest. First significant rain of the summer. Late rain is better than no rain. Corn is still determining final kernel number (tip fill) and kernel depth. Soys are still forming and filling pods.

Sometimes you don’t realize how good weed control is until you let the foot off the gas. A 4x120 ft burndown spray miss in this IP soybean field.
We used 24D Ester, Eragon and metribuzin in the spring.

1st day staging wheat for T3. This September wheat will likely reach Day 0 by tomorrow. Getting setup for later this week to start Miravis Ace + NIS, Prosaro Pro + NIS, or Sphaerex fungicides.

It’s nice to see some of the clover I spread this spring survived the June drought.
The best stands seem to be what I spread early March with less residue (tillage or two years of soys).

Wheat green up is a little confusing. Sometimes wheat remains green all winter, especially if it’s covered by snow. There really isn’t much new growth for a base ~0 crop. Spreading clover this morning in freezing rain reminded me it’s still mid March...

It’s too early to make final calls on many crops following cereal forage, but it always amazes me what comes to life following a nice rain. These crops were planted around May 24.

I've never been a fan of double cropping after wheat. Here's why... Is it fair to assume these numbers? IDK. I do know we have a LOT of soybeans in rotation as is.

15" rows closed and close to R2, only 1 month after planting. This field of P21A28X caught my attention today! Other companies have good varieties too. What makes this unique is Peking, white mould tolerance, Lumisena and ultimately yield performance.

wasn’t much fun but I’m still finding some decent corn this week. It’s not all junk. We also had a nice stretch of weather for most growers to finish planting corn and soys.
