North Paddock Farms

Alberta is home to a wide range of crops and dedicated farmers who take a lot of pride in growing some of the best in the world. Thanks to Devin Hartzler for opening up his gates to me and folks from across the province's crop sector for a really good conversation this morning.

@JacobSNeufeld Yep. It was seeded into really nice moisture though

@NorthPaddock Awesome! On irrigation?

January seeded spring wheat is up! #ultraearlyseeding

Enjoyed being at Interpom today! Lots of people and potato focussed equipment

Potatoes, wheat, barley, and canola - Alberta has it all, and the world wants more of it! Great to spend some time with folks from Alberta’s crop sector this morning. Thanks to Roy and Robin Newman for hosting us.

Dear Irrigators, The International St. Mary & Milk Rivers Study Board is holding a public meeting on June 5. We strongly encourage irrigators to attend this meeting to provide the Study Board with feedback from water users within the SMRID. Event details: ijc.org/en/smmr/intern…

@ckoomen1 I hope so! They are out already

@NorthPaddock Looks good 👍 Hopefully keep the fleabeetles at bay !

Some nice looking canola popping through our barley cover crop! This year we had to spray out the barley with a separate pass just after planting because I was worried it would take off with all the rain we’ve been having

Things have finally dried up and we are finally going again on the last potato field! Hopefully with the warm weather we are having things will pop out of the ground quickly 🌱 📷: @voss_ag #plant2024 #albertapotatoes

@cpfarmsltd @BantrySeedman Yep! Thanks Derek 🤣🤣

I just want to say thank you to everyone that came out and listened to my Cover Crop presentation yesterday at the Irrigation Conference. I know I ran out of time for questions so if you have any feel free to send me a DM and I’ll do my best to answer them 😊

@blairdrysdale77 We are onto our 4th JCB, have run 536-60 agri and now a 538-60 agri. They aren’t fancy but they are cost effective, reliable and easy to use. Can handle more than they are rated for. Let some air out of the tires it helps the ride a lot as does the boom suspension.

@bendijck @jamesbareman @andrewlawless6 Gotta be 16 rows

Potato harvest holidays @andrewlawless6 Nice spuds!

@eatbeefnow Beats the lake fish!!

Wow I caught my first fish on the ocean we didn’t have to throw back. Pretty exciting.

@CranfordAcres @agriviaggi I agree your missing the interesting part!

@agriviaggi Im a bit biased but I’d say the most interesting agriculture area of the prairies is the triangle south of hyw 1 fort Macleod-med hat Beets, potato’s, dry beans, corn, canning peas/corn, seed canola, feedlot alley and more.

Tomorrow morning we will start our farming tour in Western Canada. Till Oct 16th we will travel 2.500 km. Not too bad. I have still to find some interesting stop between Regina and Brandon. Any suggestion will be very welcome! 🇨🇦🇮🇹 Retweet appreciated.
