The current “Queen of Lupins” in #Alberta! @pulsechickAB @LakelandCommCol @RDARAlberta

@wr7619 @RDARAlberta @APGresearch Yes. Narrow leaf blue lupin.

@pulsechickAB @RDARAlberta @APGresearch Are these sweet lupin?

Beautiful crop of lupin ready to desiccate soon. They survived the heat quite well. They might even do as well as the peas. The peas didn’t like the heat. @RDARAlberta @APGresearch

A FABAulous tailgate chat this morning with @pulsechickAB @Dane_LSF farms this morning. #SustainableAgriculture #wherehaveyoubean @AlbertaPulse

Don't forget to visit Alberta Crop Diagnostics Day on July 31! Join us in collaboration with Alberta Grains, Alberta Pulse Growers, and Alberta Canola for a field day filled with informative sessions and demonstration plots.

Research Scientist Robyne Davidson @lakelandcollege & APG Research Program Mgr Dr. Jagroop G Kahlon discussed pulse varieties in the Vermilion area at Crop Diagnostic Day 1. Check out other summer events including #ABCropDiagnosticDays at Olds:ow.ly/t1ZK50SKmUU #westcdnag

LUPINS ARE DIFFERENT! Check out this short for some hints as to how and why :) @pulsechickAB @APGExtension @AlbertaPulse #plant24 #scout24 #agronomy @LakelandCollege #pulsesarewhereitsat youtube.com/shorts/QOnS0B6…

Seeding started on the Davidson farm yesterday with Boregine blue lupin. We’ll figure this crop out yet! @APGresearch @RDARAlberta @djdavidson66

Very thankful for our Saskatchewan friends so we had power through the night! For those of you that don’t know, without power our furnaces don’t blow, cattle waterers freeze and block heaters don’t heat! #ThanksSaskPower

@SheriStrydhorst @SStrydhorst Awesome Sheri! Looking good in that seat.🙂 I too love driving the combine.

Little does @SStrydhorst know that he is going to have to work hard to get back this seat! Hopefully I perform to his standards so I stay in the comfy combine cab. This is a big promotion from helping to move fields, picking up fuel and parts. Thanks for having confidence in me!

Harvesting some lupin research plots today. Plots looked so good this year! @APGresearch

@abfarmdawg Which fungicide is the middle strip, if you don't mind me asking. TIA

Tale of two different fungicides. #peas

@BrianABCS @ricktlu I “met” him yesterday. I think that guy looks an awfully lot like Phil Thomas. Coincidence?

Great to run into my good friend @ricktlu at Stampede!

I am now officially a member of the International Lupin Association, aka the Lupin Fan (Fun) club. Fun? Maybe not. But definitely interesting and have a lot of potential. 😉

@dbshepert @APGresearch That’s interesting Don! I too had some yesterday. Mango and Strawberry made by Prolupin, Made with Luv. Add lupin spread, sauce, flakes, yogurt and smoothie. All very good!

@pulsechickAB @APGresearch Had soft ice cream in Germany at the Fraunhofer institute in 2015 made on a lupin protein fraction. It was real vanilla soft ice cream

Lupins, lupins everywhere in Bocksee, Germany! This crop has so much potential and I am learning so much on how to make this crop successful in Alberta. International Lupin Conference 2023. #ILC2023 @APGresearch

Lupin research plots in Namao seeded May 12. Looking good despite dry conditions. @APGresearch @RDARAlberta

June 6 on the Farm. Lupins looking good but really need a drink. 3-4 leaf stage. Field is really clean thanks to Edge application (and dry conditions). Applied metribuzin at 110g/ac, 10 gallons/ac water. @APGresearch @APGExtension @djdavidson66
