My heart goes out to those who lost their home or business and depend on tourism, those who risked their lives to fight this fire. We have a Jasper Park painting on our wall to commemorate many days skiing, hiking and relaxing in what was our favourite mountain town in the world!

Feeling optimistic today. The wind has slowed and tempatured are cooler. Thank you to all the first responders who are going to try to save little town called Jasper. 🩷 #myjasper

@shawn_font Yes Sir! A 6030 would fit nicely in the shed with my 8430. Hard to find a good used one.

@msmyth04 Lots of squirrels on our farm. Lots of walnuts too. Never had them in the machine shed or equipment. They do have one old barn occupied. Our Border Collie keeps them in the trees more than the ground. Probably the best solution is to remove the walnut trees, but...

What have you had success with for keeping squirrels out of equipment and machine sheds. In the past year we’ve had damage to wiring on 2 tractors, planter, drill seed cups and the last straw is the coax cable for radio in fav tractor. Lots of walnut trees around keeping them fed

@RSHFarms When I see what looks like a stone it's usually a piece of concrete from the barnyard that came out of the manure spreader.

A couple of the later day IP varieties available in ON. S23-T5 on the left and NA2700 on the right. Looking good!

@johannaburrows Looks like a decent size plot. What other varieties do you have in there?

We’re not ready for harvest but still lots to see in the fields! The new AAC Wigles are standing like a champ next to leading varieties in this high fertility IP plot. This will be a great year to evaluate standability across soil types. #ontag

This is why they call @EnogenCanada E107C1 “Cow Chow”! This hybrid never fails to impress growers, it puts up big yields with lots of highly digestible starch! Even agronomist @NickCowan3 is impressed by this beauty! #CowChow #ANewBreedOfFeed

@MathewTyhurst The picture isn't for that purpose. I never paid attention and used a cob that is a poor representation of a hybrid (poor pollination). You'll never get it right anyways, but if you do it should warrant some type of a reward.

A new look for the NK IP soy lineup Silverline seed is a new name featuring the same great varieties. Get ahold of your seed supply this fall through your preferred local independent retailers Couple that with our state of the art export programs & you can’t go wrong! #ontag
