PROMAX AGRONOMY

Big crop of durum. Poker straight. Attention to detail usually pays dividends. Finishing up 2025 and working on 2026.

@voss_ag Eyes down ... whether walking or getting out of the truck! 😉

Surprised a bull snake.

A hundred different thoughts and all are likely correct. While some farmers are nicely getting going others are hoping these clouds will develop into a multi day rain. We are surprised at the variability in soil moisture from field to field.

@breannetidemann Thanks for all that you have done. Good luck with the next chapter. Hopefully our paths cross again.

I'm looking forward to what's ahead - new adventures, a fresh start, new learning, and as always - MORE WEEDS!! I'll be sharing more about the journey ahead - I always have and I can't imagine stopping now.

Life sure leads you down unexpected roads. I've had an opportunity come up recently that was too good to walk away from. And so this summer I will be leaving my current position and my family and I will be moving to Norway. It's bittersweet leaving a career that I've built for 1/

Checking planters of many types for accuracy is a daily occurrence for our agronomists. This one is 💯 for depth and placement of sugar beet seed. @asbg

Try to take the grin off of our faces!! It's so good to be planting and it looks so good 🙂 @AlbertaPotatoes

The view from the truck is great. Not always the same when you stop and go for a walk. No substitute for boots in the field!

@trouttroller Lol. Yup. Selling a truckload of product was no big deal at 10 acres/case. Spraying Mataven was a commitment to excercise. No totes. No chem handlers. No pumps. Hand bomb everything to top of sprayer. Way more fun handling Glean.

Throwback Thursday. A co-worker was cleaning out their office yesterday and gave me a Bluebook that is having a 30th birthday. He said he’d never heard of some of the products listed in the 1996 version. Anyone else remember these oldies?

Canada Foodgrains project is being seeded into durum. This drill is doing a great job of placing the seed into moisture. Many local farms and industry businesses are supporters. We're proud to be one the supporters. foodgrainsbank.ca @Foodgrains

@sjmatichuk Potato seed pieces, after cutting. Size profile has an effect on both planter performance and ultimately harvested size profile. Many evaluations of cutters and planters are done daily by our agronomists.

@Promaxag Curious….What are you evaluating and learning in this process?

You have 1 chance to get it correct!

@FungusAmungus3 @bugs5132 Thank you very much for your commitment and dedication to the agriculture industry. You have been a tremendous resource for us and many, many others. Good luck to you in the next chapter Kelly.

@bugs5132 - Last full week coming up. Good memories from 45 summers involved in agricultural field research going from a summer student in Dr. Bob Baker’s wheat breeding program at the Univ. of Saskatchewan in 1981 through to 2025 with our pathology program at AAFC Lacombe.

The learning never stops. Thanks @FarmingSmarter for the day. Great speakers, including, @Agronomydoc

The learning never stops. We're taking in Conferences in other Provinces and States this week. Appreciate the opportunities to increase knowledge levels.

@breannetidemann Tough day. You and your work have been a tremendous resource. For that we are thankful. Best of luck with your decision. I hope you continue to chase your dream and that our paths cross again. Thanks Breanne.

I've always shared about my research on here so a brief update on my situation. My position in Lacombe has been terminated as the station is being closed. I have been given an opportunity to stay with AAFC if I relocate. My family and I are weighing our options.

Never ceases to amaze me. The investment and work that a farmer puts in behind the scenes to deliver a quality product to the processor is 💯

Thank you @AlbertaCanola @AlbertaGrains @AlbertaPulse for hosting Agronomy Update 2026. Excellent learnings that we can take to the fields. Organizing committee did a great job of topics and speakers. The speakers were outstanding (many of them from their fields)!

Canola Watch Exam 2025 was once again a tremendous resource. Thank you @CanolaWatch for continuing to make this resource available. Your work does not go unnoticed. @AlbertaCanola @SaskOilseeds @CanolaGrowers

Great nugget from Dr. Tansey at @SKAgriculture Agronomy Research Update on snow cover and winter survival rates! Thanks for sharing!!

Appreciate that "Canola Week 2025" has a virtual option. Allows us to learn, while doing a few other things during the breaks! Thanks @canolacouncil @AlbertaCanola @SaskOilseeds @CanolaGrowers @CanolaWatch
