Are you a student heading to school this fall or graduating spring of 2026? I am looking to fill a few Field Technician roles (more involved than crop scouting) starting end of April to end of August 2026. Opportunity for full-time employment post graduation.

@ConnorSible @ChrisK_Banded @agrimodis @X Biomass sampling is time-consuming. Thought about using plant height, but it’s too subjective. Is there a quick, reliable in-field metric to pair with tissue sampling—like leaf area index or something similar?

@ChrisK_Banded @agrimodis @X We all too often see concentrations the same, biomass different…tissue test without biomass can only infer so much…

Question re: tissue sample results from the @Agrimodis @X account.

Scouts all ready for the first round of Reach for 300 tissue sampling! Expect some phone calls in the next week or so looking for planting info and field history #ontag @Honeylandag

Covered a lot of ground today. London -> Port Stanley -> Norfolk -> Paris -> Woodstock Saw good, moderate, and poor corn. Mostly V4/5. Population and plant stages are pretty variable, even within fields. Still yield potential, but variability might limit max yields.

Looking for a few more white bean fields to observe & sample. I'm working with Honeyland Ag Services to conduct benchmarking through soil, plant tissue, harvest sampling. Within an hour of Ailsa Craig ideal. Ontario Bean Growers are covering costs. Let me know before fertilizing!

Beauty day to be out tissue testing some nice looking wheat fields. Overall seeing some excellent tissue tests this season to date. As expected though not all are excellent and still finding some fields with deficiencies that could be addressed with flag leaf approaching quickly.

@FieldwalkerAg @14Ram @Verge_Ag maybe?

@14Ram There was a company working on this but the name escapes me at the moment.

Ok GPS gurus, is there software that can map out the most optimal route within a field to minimize spraying partial strips or ending up at the back of a farm when finishing spraying? Does AutoPath have that capability? I feel like there’s efficiencies to be had

Watching some of the golf on TV this afternoon. Got me thinking some of the compaction management and aeration they do on golf courses/greens. Drill and fill or needle tining or other. Could it be scaled to broad acre agriculture for compaction remedy? youtu.be/LjvgntNlNYg?si…

@BillGysbers Thanks Bill, appreciate it! Will be much nicer to come home tonight

Blowing snow all morning -for neighbours too 😃 JD 4455 in the shop - JD 7600 doing GREAT awesome old girl !!

@KevinNixon_ Could try to book a chat with Yvonne Lawley. She is doing some interesting research at University of Manitoba. umanitoba.ca/agricultural-f…

I have an opportunity to go to Winnipeg in mid March. Is there anything Ag related happening in that timeframe? Conferences or trade shows?

The annual Middlesex Centre Archives Fundraising Auction Bidding starts February 1st. Auction will be hosted by Filson Auction filsonauction.com Thank you to all of our community supporters and business members who have contributed to this year's auction.

Kudos to the Honeyland Team on their efforts in getting the Staygreen Program year end reports out! Now time to dig into the nitty gritty and see what we can keep learning! If you want to learn more about the benchmarking program, please reach out!

@FieldwalkerAg You bet! 👋

See you in Waterloo tomorrow?
