@DrStanfordBlade @PremierScottMoe @ICRISAT @usask Stan - I missed you in India. Have to connect next time I am there!

I look forward to meeting you in New Delhi @PremierScottMoe ! Welcome to India. We @ICRISAT are transforming dryland #agriculture across Asia and Africa. We are excited about signing the MoU with @usask tomorrow! #transformingdrylandagriculture

@gmjochum The only kind I read!

A post about something other than politics #seed25

@CarldeConinck @PattisonAg Better in the ground than in the bin!

#plant25 begins with yellow peas at Kyle sk. Big startup day! Thanks @PattisonAg kyle for sticking with it today and getting us rolling!! We Appreciate it!!!

Join the exciting world of digital ag! We are looking for a UAV Reseach Technician at @usaskplsc usask.csod.com/ux/ats/careers…

Data worries? Clare Sullivan (USask Alumni) is conducting a 10 min survey for farmers to share insights on agricultural data collection, usage, and sharing to advancing research and ensuring data sharing practices are effective and valuable for farmers.  forms.gle/Uar9HUtT9nqR4a…

@Stampseeds @blairbalog @stampgreg Nice! Just visited Gordy Rowland a few days ago!

CDC Rowland brown flax seed. Flax prices are climbing, put some acres in! stampseeds.com/brown---cdc-ro… Gophers don’t like it and is easy to grow. Chatting agronomy and more: #WestCdnAg

The best way to accurately predict where deforestation will occur? By identifying 'Ghost Roads'. 200 people spent 7,000 hours identifying them. Here's what you need to know about it:

@ACDeRoo6 @ItalianStarDeli Congratulations!! I bet that sandwich tasted great!

I kept my birth plan simple: - Get to hospital - Have baby - Don't die - @ItalianStarDeli sandwich Mission completed Jan 29 with the arrival of Sawyer ♡

Big news for digital agriculture at @agbiousask with the establishment of the Nutrien Centre for Sustainable and Digital Agriculture!

The torch has been passed!

@Agronomydoc @SaskWheat For wheat 15 is the magic conversion number for T/ha (Mg/ha) to bu/acre. So the durum yields are hitting close to 70 bu/ac (Impressive; 4.6 x 15) and the 0.2 t/ha differences are equal to about 3 bu/acre. And @CDC_USask for the win!

Finalizing results from the #ultraearly #durum project. Variety matters more at dormant and ultra-early seeding vs. late, as does depth of seed placement. Thanks @SaskWheat for funding this work!

@RSaik Wheat has been the sleeper crop of the early 20s - with true semidwarfs, much improved agronomy the Green Revolution has finally hit western Canada! (70 years after the developing world!)

38 hours on the road. Thousands of miles. Countless fields of wheat. 🌾   Back on July 28th, I stuck my neck out and predicted a record-breaking wheat crop for Canada after hitting the road and seeing it with my own eyes.   Some folks scoffed. Some said I was dreaming. Heck, even @CJWWnews picked up on it, and the critics came out swinging. One of my buddies called me and said "you have to stop doing your crop inspections at 150 km/hr"😉   But here we are: 📈 34,958,232 MMT 🏆 New Record! Eclipsing the 2022 record of 34,806,782 MMT. Turns out, I wasn’t dreaming. To all the doubters, let me say this: Nothing beats trusting what you see. 🌾👀   #WheatWatch2024 #CalledIt #RecordBreaker #Vindicated

Really excited to be leading part of the newly announced Pulse Weed Science Research Program! A big thanks to @SaskPulse and @ericagro82 as well as all my esteemed collaborators!

@bdunhin And Elizabeth Fleury - auto correct is evil!!

That would be Bennie Dunhin! @bdunhin all appologies!

49 outstanding 4th year Agronomy students presented their farm plans at this years undergraduate Agronomy Symposium. Big thanks to @lecowell Bennie Dunhill @deGronomist and Elizabeth Flurry who acted as judges. @agbiousask @usaskplsc

@SE_ResearchFarm You can also contact the journal if the PI doesn’t think your contribution was “significant”. It’s best to have these discussions at the beginning of a collaboration- we have learnt the hard way.

Yes we get paid to do research. So do the technicians, profs, and grad students at Universities. We all are expecting to get paid for our work. And should be getting co-author, even if it is the end of the list.

I'm getting pretty tired of being left off of co-authorship on grad student projects when we do most of the work for our sites!

@Flad02 Remember this idea? Anytime something is sold with a almost logical, slightly confusing argument instead of replicated unbiased field trials it probably doesn’t work: grainews.ca/news/exhaust-i…

With meeting/tradeshow season underway, general reminder that there will always be agronomic exceptions that produce miracle results as one offs. Try to transfer one-off exceptions to a farm scale rule? You're going to have a bad time. Biologicals/Soil health/Primers are valuable tools. Better tools are being realistic with your banded fertilizer rates and CEC's of your soils. Getting better makes things easier in the wrong run. If you don't expect a bit of pain off the start- the outcome you want isn't one you're likely to get. #westcdnag #agronomy #fertility

Super excited to be a part of the great research at USask @agbiousask being highlighted in AgKnowledge this year! Saskatchewan has always been a place where AG REALLY MATTERS. agbio.usask.ca/alumni-and-giv…
