Not sure what my 5 year old son was thinking before going to school today. Looking forward to the explaination.

And they won….

A lot of fungicide application with helicopters due to wet weather. Growers trying to protect yield.

We are looking for a few more students to work in our corn breeding nursery in Tilbury, ON. Contact the Maizex office if you have leads 519-682-1720. Please pass this on.

Planting research plots in Manitoba. Conditions are dry. Come on rain.

Makes you wonder why shops in the Toronto Airport are open while the rest of Ontario is locked down. Tee-shirt, soaps, electonics.

Bees are doing well. You can hear them humming. You may need headphones.

Weather changed fast in Tilbury around 3:30pm.

Today is the last day of harvest if all goes as planned.

I checked in at our Soybean plot and wanted to share. Virtual tour. Stop by on MacMillian road by Finch Ontario and take a tour. @Maizex Finch Feed & Seed Jamieson Campbell Ltd.

DONcast-corn is being developed and validated, maybe for 2021. Current humid/wet/30C in the green silking phase is very similar to 2018. Perhaps consider a fungicide to reduce DON by 50% max on susceptible hybrids? BTW, some fungicides have zero effect on DON.

With the recent rain events, fog, morning dews and corn flowering - a fungicide application to manage DON in corn may be prudent. Refer to the Maizex Seed Guide for response to fungicide if choosing hybrids. #maizex

Watch out for wild parsnip when out enjoying more nature this summer.

Bees were busy today. This was a split made 2 weeks ago. It is buzzing. Glad it worked. Honey...here we come.

A memory we'll all have forever

Maple trees active already. Syrup around the cornner?
