If you didn't already know, the legendary Kelly Turkington is set to retire at the end of March. Our editor @mzienkie enjoyed sitting down with him for an interview yesterday at the @pgdc_can meetings in Banff. Stay tuned!

At the @pgdc_can meetings in Banff this week. Lots of excitement about a new mustard line that could boost yields by nearly 10%. But there’s also real concern about GM mustard contamination, export market risks, and federal research cuts that could weaken Prairie crop testing.

A new mustard line could boost yields by nearly 10% for Prairie growers. But industry warns GM mustard contamination and federal research cuts could threaten export markets & long-term oilseed development. Full story: hubs.li/Q045zHRW0

After walking through ~17,000 plots, 28,000 hill plots, & 800 F2 rows, 2025 field season is in books. I’m already excited to see selected lines & families’ performance in New Zealand! Also, with the first day of classes, it’s time to wear professor’s cap for the next few months.

“Plant breeders have a very tangible impact on the lives of growers,” said Gurcharn Brar, head of the University of Alberta wheat breeding program. “That’s very, very fulfilling" grainswest.com/2024/09/for-th… @AlbertaGrains

RDAR staff had the opportunity to attend the inaugural Cereal Breeding Lab (CBL) Wheat Field Day. The day showcased recently released varieties like UABrynn and other advanced lines in the breeding pipeline at U of A. #AlbertaAg #Wheat #UofA

Big thanks to my good friend & a great colleague @ugill10 for helping screen many of our breeding lines in his stem & leaf rust nursery in Prosper, ND. With this we’ve covered stem rust screening capacity in my breeding program. This nursery has already helped us kill poor lines.

Couldn’t resist dropping some early morning shots showing active sporulation. These are some easy culls. Such a disease pressure helps us increase genetic gains for rust resistance in future wheat varieties! @SaskWheat @NSERC_CRSNG @wheat_research @AlbertaGrains @mb_cropalliance

Great rust expression in our BC nursery. BC, without question, is the best place for stripe rust screening. Our @SaskWheat @NSERC_CRSNG funded BC nursery is tremendously helping us build resistance, develop resistant varieties, & train HQPs! #PublicWheatBreeding #Genetics_at_work
