N fertilizer costs are dramatically increasing. To reduce N fertilizer inputs, farmers should consider including more N fixing pulse crops in their rotation. Most pulse crops need little or no N fertilizer & residual N remains for next yrs crop. Pulse crops are worth considering!

The impacts of heat stress ☀️in wheat at flowering/anthesis are unfortunately poorly understood. The severity of yield reductions depend on the cultivar, duration of heat, severity of heat, moisture availability… so many questions and unfortunately so few concrete answers.

If you farm in the Edmonton area and have a slug infestation this summer, let me know. A U of A researcher would love to inspect your field. @Megarhyssa

PGR timing will be coming on quicker than you think. I recommend scouting often and bring a knife to split stems as just relying on the number of leaves can be deceiving. The sweet spot for gibberellin inhibitors like Moddus and Manipulator is GS 30-32
Pulling plants and cutting stems is vital for staging PGRs & getting the most out of your PGRs. We are already seeing 3-4 leaf Barley in Central AB within a week of ideal timing!

When temps rise above 27°C plant and weed growth begins to shut down. With high temps in the forecast across the prairies here are some spraying recos and tips. #westcdnag # A 🧵1/3

This is an important discussion about trials and product comparisons.... @JurkeCCC will like this.
I had a great question on an on-farm trial that I tweeted about "Was This Plot Replicated". This question needs to be asked more often in the agricultural industry. Below is an example of pass to pass variance in yield for 10 consecutive strips (same management) at 1700' each.
