Another sad day for the On Ag Community as we lose @thefarmcoach Richard Creessman of New Hamburg. A man who supported many in rural Ontario struggling with mental illness. If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out. Many are willing to help! bit.ly/33kuBzJ

Great video Chris...people move seed around inadvertently with machinery, especially combines. Ideally harvest waterhemp infested fields last, otherwise equipment needs to be #andyclean before going into a field.

Starting to see more and more waterhemp in Essex County, this weed is going to continue to be a big problem in Ontario

This is great and really important as we put combines in field for wheat harvest. Make sure everyone knows address and directions of fields being harvested in case of need for emergency services. Response time matters. fieldcropnews.com/2020/07/av…

Looking at clay soy fields with A. Tenuta: with root rots often think of Phytopthora in most cases however this is mainly Fusarium and some rhizoctonia. Important to diagnose properly, management strategies are very different for each

#FlattenTheCurve worked for 1st wave, but we've been warned of 2nd & 3rd waves. No genius req'd to predict further supply chain #disruptions. Don't let your guard down on #contingency planning ontario.ca/beef or 'dairy, swine, sheep' & keep your family & employees safe

Don’t dismiss spring cereals. They offer strong ROI on nitrogen and fungicide, and intensive mgmt. will drive yield says @DCHighlander @farmsmart20#FarmSmart20.

Replying to @cowbrough
@cowbrough had the whole room laughing during his presentation at #cerealSmart20. I didn’t expect that from a weed presentation. @FarmSmart20
