Shows how much optimism there is for the future. It’s been bought and now moved thru two companies I consider to be “Where good things go to die”. It used to be really good but is now garbage.

Wow sent a help email to scouting/fertility software I’ve used for years because they removed good parts of the software that has made it basically unusable. Explained I have to use competing software to get a usable report. Their response was to continue moving to competition.

Well we got the chopped salad market cornered here

I’ve found a lot of things while scouting fields from dolls, knives, and all kinds of metal but finding a actual coconut on the banks of the Assiniboine River in Manitoba definitely tops the “How did that get there” list

Trying to strip till the garden this year, fall rye and mow between rows. Plus my first spuds and corn are out of the ground already.

Can’t get canola seed out of the bag to survive a whiff of frost yet volunteers will overwinter

I see they have taken my advice and made the 2025 pdf copy have clickable index pages. All I had to do this year was add a few bookmarks and the pdf works better than paper or any apps I’ve tried

Some @SoilOptix soil sampling under the northern lights

@Plantmore1 We’ve had good success but needs to be a quality product properly processed. Tried a lot in the past that were junk or a PIA to use. Haven’t seen good results from raw product (Humalite/leonardite). Product pH is important, how it disperses in water and at what pH it breaks down

Who is using Humic’s on their farm in western Canada? Mostly interested in hearing about it being used in a conventional system with chem and fert.

@AllamFarmer Definitely VR it, pH can be highly variable, and map it with something that actually measures the causes of your pH. pH is the result of an imbalance of Ca, Mg, & K. Zones measure something different then composite samples after the fact, you need a grid or SoilOptix is best.

It is time for the monthly AI thread to help brighten social media just a little bit. This month, it is each @CFL team as a superhero. Enjoy! 1. Saskatchewan Roughriders 🧵1/10

@rhofford It’s everywhere now, I only had a few places I found it a few years ago and it’s everywhere now. If you see kochia assume it’s RR

U guys hear on gx94 that they found rr kochia in srv???

@rhofford Generally a burnoff with a residual product then prism & sencor in crop for weeds. Long list for CPB seed treatment to start with then sometimes we have to go over top, don’t waste your time with Decis/matador.

What can u spray on potatoes for broadleaf? Also tater beetles

I find a lot of things in fields but the kitchen sink is a new one

@ManchurCCC What dale said they usually start on perimeter or patches/hot spots. This was supposed to be sprayed last week but retail was too busy and didn’t get it done

@MitchellBlyth Any difference between the canola 150 ft apart? What's your suspicion on why one place is getting eaten alive?

Flea beetles to no flea beetles 150 ft apart

@scottdkehler Just west of Portage

Some select precipitation amounts from southern Manitoba up to 4pm today: Winkler: 64 mm Carman: 57 mm Pilot Mound: 52 mm Portage la Prairie: 41 mm Brandon: 31 mm Neepawa: 28 mm Melita: 24 mm Dauphin: 23 mm Steinbach: 22 mm Winnipeg: 20 mm Gimli: 19 mm Sprague: 14 mm #mbstorm

@rhofford On a 90 corner I prefer to take corner halfway then back into corner and take off again. Just turning the corner that inside boom is going way to fast even with turn compensation in new sprayers I see weed escapes in corners. Fungicides however just turn, don’t need extra tracks

Back into corners wirh sprayer?

@Mullin_95 Try dealing with Trimble Ag mobile, last year they changed fields to “crop zones”. Constantly making updates that don’t help or not needed but never the 20 suggestions I’ve sent them of things that are broke or would make it so much better. @TrimbleCorpNews @ptx_trimble

Stop calling your fields , farms. Your farm is the entity , the fields are what you plant. Shit makes my brain hurt
