Welcome back Jelena! Happy to have you for another season.
We've been BUSY - trying to finish seeding, making initial observations, spraying, & doing pasture maintenance. One more day & we'd be finished - if the rain (& hail!) would stop.

Seeding is in full swing all across the province & we're no different. More seed is packaged & it's going to be a very busy next 10 days if the rain holds off. Cereals are going in at several sites.

What a great day to be in the field!
The sun is shining and pea, faba, lupin, lentil, flax, and barley/clover trials are going in the ground.
It's so exciting to be underway!

It's been a very busy first week for our newest seasonal staff member - Payton!
Seed is being packaged as fast as it can be processed. Soil samples are being analyzed. We hope to be in the field tomorrow!

Great turnout at today’s career fair. Some students ask great (and sometimes) tough questions. I’d estimate we talked to over 500 students.
