Dust can be very impactful for weed control when using glyphosate alone in the spring. 4-5 node peas pushing for some moisture this weekend @CoopAgroWetask #agronomist #plant26 #scout26 @coopagro_crs

Question of the day - "Is it too cold to start preburn". Below 0 overnights the past two nights say YES IT IS. Waiting 2 days following a below zero overnight temp helps make your weed control MORE EFFECTIVE. #agronomist #plant26 @CoopAgroWetask @coopagro_crs

Poetry.
“There is no ribbon-cutting. No news conference.
Yet, in a matter of weeks, tens of thousands of Canadian farmers and ranchers deploy billions of dollars, put enormous personal and financial capital at risk, and set in motion the production of food that Canadians and much of the world depend on.”

When your grower tells you "the only difference between a Flexi-coil and a Seedhawk is the logo" 😂 well there is that difference #agronomist #plant26 #humor @CoopAgroWetask @coopagro_crs

At our grower meeting this week many of the speakers mentioned the ONLY WAY to combat the uncertainty of the world right now is through open communication with your " farm team" - banker, retail, accountant, fuel guy ect.. we can't help what we don't know about

If you have not had a conversation with your supplier about spring fertilizer needs, make it a priority.
The attacks on Qatar/Iran gas production caused urea to jump another 5 - 7% overnight.
I am more worried about supplies than price today...
This is real.

'25 things that will likely impact '26 - I was called to more sprayer cleanout/crop injury calls than ever before this year. So as a note to producers before sure your cleaning protocol is CURRENT @coopagro_crs #agronomist @WetaskCoopAg

'25 things that will likely impact '26 - Wind blasting was incredibly impactful in '25 and "extreme" conditions seem to be the norm. Low disturbance may be best on certain soil types/fields & or direction of seeding @coopagro_crs #agronomist @WetaskCoopAg

'25 things that will likely impact '26 - Depth matters, likely more than you know. Check it, check it & check it again. Maturity, seed rate & yield all impacted. Likely a good place to save profit in '26 @coopagro_crs #agronomist @WetaskCoopAg

'25 things that will likely impact '26 - WO seed bank in our area is FULL FULL - consider a residual graminicide & a higher seed rate to help combat. Winter planning can be the difference between control & a 10 year problem moving forward @coopagro_crs #agronomist @WetaskCoopAg

2026 - the year of the "rusty grain beetle". So many calls about producers battling with this in the Wetaskiwin Area right now, sold out of protect it multiple times this year already. If you haven't done so - CHECK YOUR BINS #agronomist @coopagro_crs @WetaskCoopAg
