I have been in A LOT of canola in the last two weeks. Stuff we sell, competitor varieties, and everything in-between. And there is NOTHING podding the main stem like this variety. The yield on this one is going to be SHOW STOPPING @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask #plant26 #harvest25

Flax is ripening so well - exciting niche crop in the area. Diversifying crop rotations as we continue to battle resistant weeds, clubroot & changing global markets #agronomist @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask #plant25

Plant structure MATTERS - seeing certain canola hybrids both taller than I am and branching very low on the mainsteam, causing high sclerotinia infection & some strong lodging. The cheapest bag of canola might not be the best #plant26 #canola @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask

When your agronomist has a full day of swath timing scouting to do, but there is a fertilizer market call for intel on buying for 2026 and she doesn't miss info that could save you money. Multi Task & Conquer #agronomist @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask #plant26 #harvest25 #canola

Another one of our canola trials is looking great in the Leduc area - huge difference in standability, maturity & sclerotinia infection 🤯 - there is a reason some canola is MUCH CHEAPER than others #plant26 #growteam #canola @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask

High pressure Sclerotinia starting to show up in fields in the area - exact yield impact we won't know until the combines roll. Good data for 2026 with a 2:1 ROI on certain fungicide at only 3bu/ac @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask #agronomist #scout25 #harvest25

Are you even in agriculture if you haven't left a field looking like this?! Preserves scouting well underway with the late flushes of weeds in the low canopy as we head for harvest @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask #agronomist #growteam @scout25 #plant26

In the winter $50/bag more looks like a lot - as we roll into harvest $50/bag more might net you thousands of dollars an acre more. Let's talk RETURN ON INVESTMENT as we start the booking season this fall @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask #agronomist #growteam #canola #corn

Loads of questions on PRE HAVREST spraying right now as we turn for fall. High levels of secondary tillering mean greener lower heads that 100km/hr scouting won't show you - get out and thrash some #dontgountilyouknow @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask #scout25 #agronomist

When @AirCanada strands you and your entire team 3328km from home with no transportation until earliest Thursday, you rent a car, put on a good playlist, and buckle up for what could be 35hr drive. #iwonttravelairaircanadaagain

Holy MOLY - touring this summer means finding some of my new favourites for my producers for #plant26 because my farmers having success is table stakes for me #agronomist #growteam @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask

Okay farming community I want to know - what the heck should be the strategy with fields we are losing the wild oat battle on? Massive pressure, resistance & limited rotation options @breannetidemann #scout25 #plant25 @CoopAgroWetask @coopagro_crs #agronomist.

Mother nature proves again she is the boss - thank goodness for the cattle guys these days as they can still make cow chow #scout25 #plant25 @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask #agronomist #growteam

DYK there are only 7-12 pathotypes of clubroot that are statistically the majority of the clubroot problem - don't let the MARKETING confuse that @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask #agronomist #scout25 #plant25 #canola

Pulses germinating in the pods already and splitting them open after a 2 inch rain. guess there is a first time for everything #scout25 #agronomist #plant25 @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask

Had the absolute pleasure of finding my very first apothecia in the field this year - #canola growers I hope you got your fields sprayed, expecting yield impacts to be high this year due to weather @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask #scout25 #agronomist

Lots of work is being done on water volumes with herbicide. Shear coverage alone by increasing water volume can prove to be the only difference between control and a miss. Can you guess which is 5 gal & which is 10 gal? #agronomist @coopagro_crs @CoopAgroWetask #plant25
