Not trying to get PMRA any ideas, but if rye were a pesticide, it would be considered a pretty good one.
Cereal rye… best soil applied pre ever… had a drill malfunction last fall so one pass got no rye. Pretty amazing the allopathic effect of rye on broadleaf weeds. And oh yah, no dirt blowing/washing…🤔 #covercrop

Bullish corn, @MaizeingPete is likely going to put an 8 instead of a 6 in front of the corn price if we hide his glasses on him. Keep the carrots away from him too.

The weed-free period is critical in corn & soybean production. Early weed competition can reduce yield potential before visible symptoms appear. Keeping fields clean during this window helps protect yield and maximize crop performance. #Corn #Soybean #Agronomy #CropManagement

The current strip rust map tells us it is here and developing. Conditions are optimum for infection the next few days in many areas in Ontario. Listen to @WheatPete for details!

Stripe rust is appearing in Ontario wheat. @WheatPete explains why scouting is critical to protect yield potential and how to time fungicide applications. Check out Wheat School. ow.ly/OOK150Z3PA2

The temptation to broadcast fertilizer to speed up planting is always there, but especially in a late spring like this. Banding is more efficient and will be more plant available in a cooler spring. Plant well my friends!

Anyone know where Pete’s car is ?
This is the 1965 Meteor wagon I sold about 2 decades ago. It is the only car I wish I never sold. It was a barn find with original paint. I cleaned up the wiring and made the 292, 3 on the tree run great. Note the tri-tone paint that was standard. Built at Ford in Oakville Ontario. I drove it daily in good weather. It would buzz 3000rpm at 100km/h (60mph) so I was always in the right lane on the highway, but got double honks from trucks as they passed! This is the only picture of it that I can find taken a few years ago. I have no idea where it is now.

For those of you in the Durham/West Grey/Hanover area keep your eye out for a near new Brandt gas Grain Belt model number 1537LP. Went mia last night. Whoever borrowed it had to be familiar with running one. Rt's appreciated.

It’s pretty cool to see my face on the cover of @BetterFarmingON! Now read the crop scouting article. Key message - the headlands don’t tell you everything. Go out in the field beyond the headlands! #OntAg #CdnAg

Not every farmer. I was told by an older farmer when I started out to look at maxing out returns on your current land before you look to expand. It’s served me well

Anyone used these tick repellent pants? Do they work? They have permethrin in them, good for 70 washes. May be a good investmentfor my crop scout friends. South of the boarder has permethrin spray to put on your clothes and boots,Canada has only the clothing approved @WheatPete
