This CWRS variety has earned attention across the Manitoba & irrigated Alberta for its strong yield potential under adequate moisture. With early maturity, solid short semi-dwarf stature, and great harvestability. To explore more wheat options for your farm, check out our 2026 Seed Guide: hubs.la/Q0467nrN0

Two things that stand out with NSC Homewood? In this #PituraPartners feature with @NSGeneticsCA, we talk NSC Homewood - a soybean that delivers across tough soil conditions and is adaptable across many different farms. Because great seed starts with great partnerships. #PituraSeeds #Soybeans #WeKnowBeans #WestCdnAg #MBAg

« Si le conflit iranien persiste, la hausse des coûts de l'énergie continuera de peser sur nos chaînes d'approvisionnement alimentaire. Mais le véritable risque pourrait survenir plus tard. Les perturbations des flux d'engrais via le détroit d'Ormuz pourraient engendrer une certaine nervosité sur les marchés des produits agricoles dans les mois à venir. Cela pourrait faire grimper sensiblement les prix du blé, du maïs et du soja, ce qui serait une très mauvaise nouvelle pour la sécurité alimentaire mondiale. »

It’s said that a lie can get around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on. This clip is a really good reminder that the job of defending Canadian oil and gas never stops. Pierre does a masterful job of dispelling lies that have been told about Canada’s oil sands. Canadian energy, specifically from the oil sands and Fort Mac, is ethical and adheres to world-class safety and environmental standards. Our oil and gas displaces far worse forms of energy, from far worse countries, to give Canadians a far better standard of living. All we need to do is tell the truth and correct falsehoods when we hear them.

Activist: "The water usage for beef is obscene. Thousands of litres per kilogram." Farmer: "That's rainfall." Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The figure includes all the rain that falls on the pasture. The cows drink from the stream. The rain falls whether there's a cow here or not." Activist: "It's still water consumption." Farmer: "Should I stop the rain falling on my field?" Activist: "Grow crops instead. More efficient." Farmer: "This is a 35-degree slope in the Welsh hills. Show me the crop." Activist: "Technology..." Farmer: "To make tractors climb mountains?" Activist: "There must be a solution." Farmer: "There is. It's called a cow." Activist: [checks phone]

To the carbon tax intellectual mob now mobilized by the Prime Minister’s Office to defend the carbon tax, You argue the carbon charge on diesel fell by ~21¢/L and suggest my analysis assumes a linear increase to 29¢/L. That’s convenient — but incomplete. You’re isolating one component of a much broader cost structure and presenting it as the full story. It isn’t. Food prices are not determined by what a truck pays at the pump alone. They reflect cumulative costs across the entire supply chain: refining, fertilizer, processing, refrigeration, logistics — all of which remain exposed to carbon pricing mechanisms. And while you focus on a partial rollback in one area, you ignore two inconvenient truths: 1️⃣ Industrial carbon pricing is still very much in effect, and tightening 2️⃣ Energy costs overall are rising, amplifying cost pressures across the system Cherry-picking a 21¢/L figure does not invalidate broader cost transmission. It simply narrows the lens. With another carbon price increase coming April 1, Canadians deserve an honest conversation — not selective math. This isn’t a comprehension error. It’s a refusal to look at the full system.

@SpecialtySeeds Congratulations Will!!

Big day for Rowan yesterday. Masters in Physical Therapy.

J.S. Henry & Son has completed its 3rd generation plant with @NexeedInc. This build emphasized planning, 3D modeling, and designing for long-term adaptability. The key lesson for @Lean1Mclean? Built right, a processing facility becomes a generational asset. hubs.li/Q045kfRk0

If you invented a machine that could: - Restore degraded land - Build topsoil - Sequester carbon - Produce fertiliser - Create complete protein - Generate its own fuel - Reproduce itself - Require zero electricity You'd win the Nobel peace prize. Instead, we blame them for climate change. These cows will be tending to their fields as they always have, while city-based career politicians discuss their impact on national climate agenda.

@js_seeds @SeCan Fun morning! Great meeting and chatting with some fine young people in the seed business👍👍

Huge shoutout to @SeCan for bringing a group of young minds in the seed business by for a visit last week! Great to see the industry is falling in the hands of some excellent young people! #Secan #CanadianAg #YoungFarmers #SeedMB

Canada's seed industry drives $6 billion in economic activity annually. The programs behind it are at a crossroads.

Farm Bureau organizations from 10+ states signed an amicus brief before SCOTUS. They point out that glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, helps farmers control weeds, protect soil by reducing tillage, use less fuel, and keep food safe and affordable. news.google.com/rss/articles/C…

@Smithfamilyseed Not here! This photo doesn’t do it justice. But it was snowing like the top of a mountain here!

All those positive temps this winter didn’t help my culverts stay open. #springiscoming #plant26

@stampgreg Let’s go! #jealous

12 y old son hit 4 jumps to the first time today. Coaches nose, house drop, gambler cliffs and through the desperado cliffs (desperado cliffs were huge and high consequence with no snow on the lip)

Spend 20 years studying Chemistry. Collect data. Publish papers. Earn a PhD. Write patent applications. Go online. Get told you're wrong - by an anonymous electric screwdriver salesman. That's the internet. Expertise vs confidence. Science isn't broken. Our respect for it is.

Designed to support professionals at every step of their career, Seed School spent 3 days exploring the Canadian seed sector – learning from experts who work directly in the industry. Hear from two participants about what they found most valuable in the program.
