Depth checking this week as we rush to put some canola in the ground before the classic May Long Snow Forecast! Be sure you don't sink your canola #agronomist #plant26 @CoopAgroWetask

@chinookag @MYPrecisionAg I bet could tell you!

Any Intelligent Ag gurus out there? Why do I keep getting these false blockage readings? Always on same runs but when I check they aren't blocked. Much thanks. #plant26

500ac of Soybeans on the floor in Wetaskiwin this season is our LARGEST YEAR YET. With the CHU's getting lower and the crop potential increasing we are hoping to multiple last years success in #plant26 @CoopAgroWetask #agronomist

Question of the day - "Is it too cold to start preburn". Below 0 overnights the past two nights say YES IT IS. Waiting 2 days following a below zero overnight temp helps make your weed control MORE EFFECTIVE. #agronomist #plant26 @CoopAgroWetask @coopagro_crs

Lined up on this Sunny Saturday - cheers to everyone working in acres not hours the next few months #plant26 @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask

Poetry. “There is no ribbon-cutting. No news conference. Yet, in a matter of weeks, tens of thousands of Canadian farmers and ranchers deploy billions of dollars, put enormous personal and financial capital at risk, and set in motion the production of food that Canadians and much of the world depend on.”

@Agronomydoc @CoopAgroWetask @coopagro_crs Your right - wheat or pulses is the exception

@RGerrard20 @CoopAgroWetask @coopagro_crs You must be referring to canola because that is 'go-time' for #wheat #durum . A little late actually....😎

Happy Thursday - a cool 3 degrees on worked ground at seed depth right now in #wetaskiwin with this being one of the most expensive crops we have put in be cautious about how early you go #agronomist #plant26 @CoopAgroWetask @coopagro_crs

When your grower tells you "the only difference between a Flexi-coil and a Seedhawk is the logo" 😂 well there is that difference #agronomist #plant26 #humor @CoopAgroWetask @coopagro_crs

DYK Wetaskiwin Co-op Agro got a new exciting addition to our fleet - a SOIL PROBE TRUCK. New for 2026 we will be able to offer GPS hydraulic probed tests at 0-6, 6-12 and 12-24 inches at the Wetaskiwin Co-op Agro. Please contact our #growteam for more information or to book

Hybrid Fall Rye starting to green up even with the UNSEASONABLY cold weather we have been having. #plant26 @CoopAgroWetask @coopagro_crs #agronomist

Testing out our NEW HYDRAULIC SOIL PROBE TRUCK. So excited for the local producers about this upgrade to the @CoopAgroWetask fleet! #agronomist #plant26 @coopagro_crs

You know we are only 34 days until May when the growing pile of completed farm plans starts to take over your desk. #agronomist #plant26 #cdnag @CoopAgroWetask @coopagro_crs

At our grower meeting this week many of the speakers mentioned the ONLY WAY to combat the uncertainty of the world right now is through open communication with your " farm team" - banker, retail, accountant, fuel guy ect.. we can't help what we don't know about

While the fertilizer market continues to cause drama in the ag industry.. we are in full swing of spring prep! Join us next week for our Annual Grower Meeting

Huge shout out to @ADAMA_CAN for their support on our provincial run this year

'25 things that will likely impact '26 - I was called to more sprayer cleanout/crop injury calls than ever before this year. So as a note to producers before sure your cleaning protocol is CURRENT @coopagro_crs #agronomist @WetaskCoopAg

'25 things that will likely impact '26 - Wind blasting was incredibly impactful in '25 and "extreme" conditions seem to be the norm. Low disturbance may be best on certain soil types/fields & or direction of seeding @coopagro_crs #agronomist @WetaskCoopAg

'25 things that will likely impact '26 - Depth matters, likely more than you know. Check it, check it & check it again. Maturity, seed rate & yield all impacted. Likely a good place to save profit in '26 @coopagro_crs #agronomist @WetaskCoopAg

'25 things that will likely impact '26 - WO seed bank in our area is FULL FULL - consider a residual graminicide & a higher seed rate to help combat. Winter planning can be the difference between control & a 10 year problem moving forward @coopagro_crs #agronomist @WetaskCoopAg
