Corn on Corn vs not visible in this field split at the flag. Not sure on N program but suspect same rate applied across both pieces. Definitely differences in mineralization/immobilization in these systems. Will be interesting to monitor with our Staygreen program this season.

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.

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.

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=nJuF…

Where could one purchase trays similar to these? Have a variety of corn sites and would like to have scaled photos for reference.

Great day @CCAOntario Soil and Water Day. Thanks to the organizers!
Soil mid-range spectroscopy seems quite promising for soil testing! Also learning just a little bit about the drainage act. Intrigued by the bio-strip system too-pesky volunteer wheat sounds like a challenge.
