It was a quiet week in the office last week as we prepare for the harvest season and fall soil sampling.
Michelle was working remotely from Calgary while her daughter trained at the Olympic Speed Skating Oval. Luke returned from his holiday after spending a few weeks at home with his newly expanded family. Bru snuck away for a couple of days off to enjoy some fishing and rest, while Jenn and the scouts held down the fort!
Speaking of the office, we are in the middle of renovations, and things are starting to look different as we add three more office spaces to our building. Busy, yet exciting, changes are happening!
The weather is looking favorable for a weekend spent outdoors! Enjoy! 🔆
Have a great weekend!
Bru and Jenn
Top 5 - LAST Week:
Waterhemp is making itself obvious right now, finding more and more every day.
Harvest has begun in some of the early seeded cereals this week. Canola is nearing dessication and/or swath timing
Aster yellows, sclerotinia stem rot and verticillium stripe showing up in the Canola east of the Red making swath/dessication timing more difficult
Potential wheat yield losses of 10% or more due to wheat steam saw-fly, take-all and/or root rot.
Lots of dirty canola fields due to weather related herbicide performance problems. Not surprising when you can count glufosinate spraying days on one hand.
Top 5 - THIS Week
This week or two it will be critical to scout and pull waterhemp plants. DO NOT pass them through the combine.
Make sure your field operators know how to identify noxious weeds like tall waterhemp
Take good notes on what you are seeing in the field so you remember them for nextyear. Field variability, problem weeds, drainage issues, etc.
Aphid pressure in soybeans so far has been low but need to keep an eye on them
The time is now to book in your fields for fall soil sampling.
Yield LOSS in the Wheat!
It's not all fusarium in the wheat this year. Looking at some heads that could be effected by wheat steam saw-fly, take-all or a root rot of some sort.
It's TIME!
It is now time to book your fall soil sampling.
