An informative day hosted by Perkin Seed & Soil going over a comprehensive market outlook with Ryan Longhenry and Sevita International soybean performance with Chris unger. Great interaction today, we appreciate the business. @scott_perkin @Six1FourCapital @Sevita_Int

Latest thunderstorm outlook from @ECCCWeatherON for tomorrow (Thursday). Confidence increasing on severe storms impacting SW #Ontario. #OnWX

Farm safety is everyone’s responsibility. Thanks to everyone who supported Ridgetown Farm Safety Day😊. It was a great day to be in the community.

Waterhemp hiding, scout your wheat fields after harvest and do not let these go to seed, next year's weed control starts now!

#agrisagronomy change the maps up a bit looking at soil moisture as a % of field capacity. 0% would be permanent wilting point and 100% is all pores filled and excess water drained by gravity. Needless to it changes the growing environment.

#agrisagronomy CHU accumulations to date vs 53 year station average at London . A couple of warm weeks in May / early June and the last few days in June and early July starting to exceed long term averages.

With the Enlist E3 soybean system sometimes we get droopy beans as seen on the left side. Don’t worry it’s part of the process the bean plant goes through metabolizing the herbicide. Within 24-36 hours they will be back to normal. It’s a good sign things are actively working.

A lot of areas received rain now we just need to work on mother nature to clear the smoke, add more sun and this crop will really march along! A quick snapshot of solar radiation 2023 vs 2022 for one plot location in Eastern Ontario. #ontag #SendSunPlease #CropPhysiology

@kevinki16180099 Partly, the GDD accumulation was slow ,that means an extended grain fill period. Takes 660 GDD to complete grain fill the cooler day lengthens grain fill, warmer days shortens it. Looks like a 35 day grain fill period instead of 30 to 32

#agrisagronomy i have been asked why we are behind in CHU, number of factors, smoke, up until recently cold night temps and cold lakes . Our climate is heavily influenced by the lakes. water temps have begun to increase in the past week.

Big change coming. Possible frosts in Southern Safrinha crop areas next week.

The future of weed control is here! At Carbon Robotics, we believe there’s a better way🌱🌎 We believe in providing growers with an herbicide free and 100% organic technological solution for weed control. Cheers to a healthier planet, and a sustainable future free of herbicides!

@megnmoran Congrats Meghan. Wonderful news. Hope you are recovering well.

@phhermans I would guess your attic might have a few, too!

You can tell it was a big soybean aphid year! #ontag #DrivingMyWifeNuts #PredatorPreyCycle #LookingForFoodInWarmPlaces

@TomMacIntosh7 @TonyDeblock The moth stages are beautiful.

@TonyDeblock Giant Silk Moth, used to find them all the time when working in Organic Apple Orchards. Host trees are Maples, squirrels are big fans, not harmful or poisonous, just a giant Caterpillar.

Looking for a little help here #AgTwitter anyone able to tell me what this meal sized caterpillar is and is it poisonous
