#Peaola in Manitoba. #CS2500Cl canola inter-cropped with a maple pea. This is on a sand ridge prone to blowing soil so also cross-seeded a barley companion crop that was sprayed out. Thanks @agassizmur1 for your time - adapt & overcome.

Supply chains are crucial. These pinto beans were in Idaho on Monday & will be planted halfway across the continent by Wednesday evening. Thanks @BWG Logistics for the freight & @agtfoods for import release.

For those that don't think this is a huge loss for the western Canada wheat farmer.....think again. We need to be embracing innovation, investment and competition. Not closing our doors and our minds. This is a sad day.
NEW: Syngenta Canada to halt its cereal seed research and development program effective December 31, 2019. Company says it plans to maintain a strong commitment to the Canadian cereals sector. More at bit.ly/MmGN8S #CdnAg #WestCdnAg #OntAg Head of R&D, @ToutNL says:

This is a body density map of part of the Somme. It was compiled around 1919 as they recovered bodies from the battlefield. Each small grid square is 250m by 250m & the numbers written by hand, in blue, show the number of bodies recovered in each grid. I wear my #POPPYwithPRIDE – at West Midlands, England

Sk Crop Insurance seeded acreage number is out. Shows 163000 insured acres. Approx 20% of acres in Sask are not insured so total ac are 195600 ac. At 1200 lb crop this equates to a 105000 MT crop. Stat can acreage report is accurate. #canaryseed
