Prairie moisture can be unpredictable—but barley breeding is adapting. WCI’s Yadeta Kabeta on dryland testing, drought resilience and a promising feed barley line with strong results in drier regions. Read the story: hubs.li/Q04zP0cm0  #Barley #AlbertaAgriculture

Drought can hide Canada thistle, not eliminate it. When rain returns, new shoots may emerge from established roots. Scout and map patches, investigate herbicide escapes and treat weeds when they’re actively growing. Read more: hubs.li/Q04zDdPt0

After 40+ years growing pedigreed seed in the Peace Country, Gordon Hill has a simple measure of success: “We’re still here. We’re still doing it.” 🌱 Read his story on farm legacy, rising costs and the people keeping local agriculture going. hubs.li/Q04zvmfP0  #ABAg #SeedGrowers #PeaceCountry

Trialing new canola varieties under diverse growing conditions across Alberta helps researchers and growers understand how they perform locally. #PartnerContent #Canola #AlbertaAg @NutrienAgCda hubs.li/Q04y2pm30

oo wet or too dry? Dryland farms need to be ready for both. Taller stubble, diverse rotations, healthier soils and reduced compaction can help growers capture, store and make better use of moisture. Read more: hubs.li/Q04wY4290

Alberta’s crop has strong yield potential—but harvest is well behind schedule. Just 5.6% of crops were harvested by Aug. 25, versus the five-year average of 15.2%. Now farmers need warm, dry weather. hubs.li/Q04w4MTJ0

We had a great time yesterday hanging out with ag minister @TaraSawyer23 and Alberta-British Columbia Seed Growers President Sarah Weigum of Alect Seeds! @YourAlberta

Farms got bigger. Seed lots got bigger. The technology got better. But after more than 70 years, the mission @VegSeedCleaning remains remarkably simple: serve the farmer. See how this Alberta co-op has evolved to keep pace 👇 hubs.li/Q04vqTsR0

What separates Alberta's top-performing farms from everyone else? "Having a plan and sticking to that plan." @ATBFinancial's Jon Neutens and Rob Jensen share what they've learned from working with hundreds of farm businesses. hubs.li/Q04v0fMr0

What's really being talked about around Alberta's coffee shops? @ATBFinancial's Jon Neutens shares what he's hearing from producers and agribusinesses across Alberta, and why he's still optimistic about the industry's future. Watch the full episode: hubs.ly/Q04sGHt30

WCI’s barley program is using drones + genomics to speed up breeding — targeting 5–10% yield gains. One line = +8% overall, +13% in brown soil zones 🌾🚁🔬 Read more: hubs.li/Q04sbYGZ0  #AlbertaBarley #AgTech #BarleyBreeding #Farming 🚜📈

Great crop research doesn’t start in the lab—it starts with farmers asking better questions. Read why Alberta-grown research, local testing and producer-driven breeding remain critical to the future of prairie agriculture: hubs.li/Q04rT60g0  #AbAg #CdnAg #CropResearch #PlantBreeding #Barley #Wheat

Bees = yield. Lethbridge Poly shows how managed honeybees + native pollinators boost canola production, why queen health & varroa control matter, and easy on‑farm steps to help. Read the research: hubs.li/Q04qNNPr0  #AlbertaAg #Canola

The next breakthrough wheat variety starts years before it reaches your farm. See how Alberta breeders like @WheatSingh are staying ahead of pests, disease & a changing climate while protecting yield & quality. 🌾 Read: hubs.li/Q04qzb5D0

The biggest factor affecting silage quality isn’t the variety you plant—it’s when you harvest. AAFC’s Tim McAllister says a delay of just a few days can dramatically reduce feed quality and profitability. Learn why timing, moisture, packing and inoculants matter: hubs.li/Q04q7TBf0  #AbAg #Silage #Forage #CdnAg #Livestock

Can AI help Alberta farmers prepare for drought—and flooding? Researchers at the UofA are developing water forecasting tools to improve planning for producers, irrigation districts, and water managers. Read more: 🔗 hubs.li/Q04pj_vm0
