Access to quality childcare is essential for strong, vibrant rural communities. When we discovered that majority of rural children in the Canadian prairies live in what’s called a “daycare desert”, we felt the need to step in. We are proud to announce our 2026 Rural Daycare Grant Program, an effort to help strengthen childcare options in the rural communities where our employees live and work. This effort is in alignment with Croptimistic’s sustainability strategy, and is a key part of our commitment to rural vitality and employee support. Our Rural Daycare Grant Program will give out three grants to chosen applicants: $2,500, $1,500, and $1,000. Grant selection will be made by our Rural Daycare Campaign volunteer committee.

Meeting with your SWAT MAPS agronomist soon? Here are some questions to ask in your 2026 crop planning meeting: ▪️"Where do you see the biggest opportunity for improvement on my farm?" ▪️"Is there anything we should rethink or adjust in our current program?" ▪️"What data should we collect this season to measure progress?" ▪️"What new strategies or tools could help us reach our goals?" These meetings are all about planning with intention, challenging long-standing practices, and exploring new ideas. Our goal is to help you get the most out of every acre. 👉Haven't booked your meeting yet? Get in touch with your #SWATMAPS agronomist! 👉New to SWAT MAPS and want to get started?

@weber4farms @rhofford For sure, pgr decisions for malt almost need to be a last minute decision depending on moisture levels and long range forecast.

@SeanBarath @rhofford Ya I should have said we used pgr once and never rained after and hurt yield. If wind and rain come at wrong time it goes down.

What u guys putting down for fert on barley? Msg if u prefer

@weber4farms @rhofford Interesting, I find once we tickle 90-95ish N, it goes down without a growth regulator. Also depends on weather conditions.

@SeanBarath @rhofford Lodging a little Protein around 12.2 Synergy variety Top dress before six leaf goes to yield not protein. New varieties can handle more nitrogen without affecting protein we figure

@weber4farms @rhofford Any issues with lodging or high protein at those rates?

@rhofford 110 on malt and if stays wet topdress another 40. That was back when malt was 7$ or better. The last 40lbs is risky.

@CropProCory Big ford guy here, the early 2000’s era were rock solid. My old man has 3 of them kicking around the farm and two of them are around 500k km and still get used. My 2012 has been a good truck, hasn’t let me down yet. Haven’t driven anything new, but I’ve heard good things.

Over these new style gm trucks. Transmissions (and waiting forever for warranty ones). Lifters (fuel mgmt junk). Old body styles had none of this. For the price tag - we quit buying them new. Not a ford lover but idk 🤷🏼‍♂️

@LangbankPlayer @CanolaWatch I travel a lot of fields every fall, and you can tell what fields have been sprayed with a plane vs ground rig, even more noticeable when ground rig does the head land. Fields are way cleaner after a ground rig pass vs plane.

@CanolaWatch Many factors. Will there be a chance at post harvest spraying? What is the risk you don’t get it harvested at all?

Trampling loss from preharvest spray is not zero. At least 2 feet per 120’ boom, so ~2% yield loss. Yes, this crop is threshing nicely, but would a plane be better (even when coverage is key)? Or wait for natural dry down? -Yesterday in my brother’s field near Hartney, MB
