Pretty in pink! The sunshine brought on lots of pink over the weekend and even heading into king bloom for these Silkens.

@farmerschneck Anytime! Hope you have a good start to cropping season

@TorEastman Thanks Victoria! Hope you're doing well.

It’s time! Straw is starting to come off in strawberry fields. If the field is dry enough, remove straw to expose plants to the sun. Late straw removal reduces yield. Crowns in straw covered fields are looking good so far. 🍓

@farmerschneck Yes, Venture or Poast Ultra + Merge both at the high rate should provide control

@TorEastman Hey is there a herbicide I can spray this spring to control quack grass in my strawberries?

Happening this Thursday morning! Don’t forget to register for the BGO Research Review Day. Join via Zoom to hear the latest work in pathology, entomology and weed management in strawberries (field and greenhouse), raspberries and blueberries. @OntarioBerries
