Harvest 2026 is a wrap! What a battle! Very thankful to my crew for working hard to get finished!! Very disappointed with yields and quality. Always had the wrong weather at the wrong time. #harvest26 #farmingisfamily

Impressive genetics with synergy barley. These heads are hanging on for dear life. They have been through so much rain. Be a different story if we had some older barley varieties.
Macdon FD140 owners…why does straw build up inside the canvases? We took out 3-4, 5 gallon pails of straw this morning and it’s full again and has stopped the canvas. Combining 16-17% barley. How does it get in there??? This pic was after we had it cleaned out.
Raining again and again and again…pic taken before it started again today 404mm and counting for the season……that’s over 16 inches…..not good for crops. Our area is less than 10% harvested with some guys not even started yet.
And so it begins! #Harvest2026 has started off with Churchill Malt Barley going to the dryer. Hope everyone has a safe harvest!
$33/mt lost in canola in one trading session…….just goes to show how disconnected the real trade is from the paper trade. Rumours, false info, false headlines, and people making news who hardly know what canola is keep ruining the real market. And who pays for it? The canola farmer…. I’m so tired of this. No crop data and acreage should be allowed to be public. All the information is used against us. Takes 3 months to gain $33/mt and it’s gone in one session. 🤬
Conditions for Sclerotinia in Canola are the worst I’ve seen in years. So much Rain/humidity/fog and Heat. The crop is already in terrible condition but need to spray to avoid even more losses. Spore infection on petals is higher than I’ve ever seen as well. What a year…..
Anybody using Arctic S for Sulfur instead of Ammonium Sulfate? Manufactured in Saskatoon SK. Been looking into this for a while. It is micronized elemental sulfur with 80% break down the first year. Would be floating it on ahead of NH3 this fall.
11-0-0-75 Arctic S
21-0-0-24 Ammonium Sulfate
Maybe do 75%Arctic\25% AMS blend
#plant26 is complete! Wow what a crazy spring. Latest we have ever seeded here in NE Sask. Thankful for everyone who helped out! Used 3 different seeding units and multiple trials going on. Lots of planning to make this all happen.

One week into seeding in NE Sask and we are at 50%. So far this season has been all about planning and extra lights. Just keep seeding the next field that is ready even if it means switching/cleaning the drill out every other day. #plant26 Go Team @MYPrecisionAg
Finally started seeding in NE Sask May.23. This is the latest we have ever started. I foresee many long days ahead. This will also be our 10th crop since Dad passed away. Sure do miss him. Couldn’t do it without the support of my great family. #plant26
Seeding has been extended again for NE Sask. First too much snow/water, then cold spring temps, now more snow. Haven’t turned a wheel yet for seeding and not sure when we will start.

News Release: CMBTC Releases 2026–27 Recommended Barley Varieties List

Speechless…..
BREAKING: The Liberals just directed $392 million towards environmental agricultural initiatives for farmers abroad while Canadian producers at home are being crushed by China’s canola tariffs, unjustly blocked beef and pork market access to the U.K., and not given access to essential tools like strychnine. On top of that the industrial carbon tax is driving up the cost of fertilizer, fuel, and farm equipment for farmers here at home. Our farmers are being punished while the government virtual signals abroad. Completely unacceptable.
