I haven't seen such pronounced FHB symptoms since 2016. I am pleased because this year we initiated several long-term disease study projects @IrrigateSask, and the high disease pressure will be beneficial for evaluating our treatment strategies. Project funded by @SaskPulse

If you are out combining canola please direct message me with the seeding date, harvest date and legal land location for that feild. Thanks!! I though I would repost this now that people are out harvesting canola (and have harvested). This would help out research!
Steve Shirtliffe@ProfAgronomy
Hey Farmers! Would you be willing to share your canola seeding & harvest dates with us (any years after 2016)? Our @SaskCanola project use sat data to stage canola and needs ground data. Please DM us with: seeding & harvest date and legal land loc. Thanks & please retweet!

@SKweedgeek @CWSS_SCM I'm pretty sure it was Gerry Ivany from PEI who did the cutting.
English
@CWSS_SCM @ericagro82 It might have been Rick Holm from the west (was he the west section president?) & someone from the east (Clarence Swanton?). I have a feeling it was the current east and west section chairs or the newly elected Pres of the joint group.

Instead of a ribbon cutting the society held a thistle detopping. I don’t actually know who did the ceremonial cut though. @SKweedgeek @ericagro82 do either of you know?
CWSS-SCM@CWSS_SCM
Sorry folks I’ve been under the weather! The inaugural meeting of the newly minted, independent, Canadian Weed Science Society was in November 2002, in Saskatoon. Guess what was cut instead of a ribbon to mark the occasion?
