When growing crops we can’t control every variable……but we strive to control what we can; Timely planting. Timely fertility at optimum levels. Timely weed control. Cropping on this farm is truly a family team affair! #YieldHeroEast
For anyone not farming in Middle Eastern ON, yeah, it’s that dry. More than a 90% deviation from average precipitation over the last 60 days!!
Be on the look out for spider mites. Fields with drought-like symptoms are a good place to start. The stippling on the leaves is a good indicator to flip that trifoliate over to look for them - your phone lens is a great tool to spot em.
Some pretty wicked awesome control of horsetail with Enlist 1 herbicide in this field of Z series soybeans. @PioneerSeedsCA
Have been receiving a fair amount of calls and questions around the progression of Tar Spot in Ontario and other areas where the disease might not be quite as familiar. Here is a clip of a video I sent to a customer on how to ID it a little better! @PioneerSeedsCA
Spring had its challenges in the Middle East & the taps have shut off unfortunately. The team at Maizeing Acres got at it early and their corn is showing it! #YieldHeroEast @PioneerSeedsCA
P9466PCE showing up to work for R.H.S Farms Inc in the #yieldheroeast contest. At V7 getting lots of heat this week and finally a little rain, it’s going to take off! @thursthill @PioneerSeedsCA
Trying out some #Cortevabiologicals to reduce stress on these @PioneerSeedsCA soybeans with a massive heat wave coming. Left a check strip and we’ll observe and take it through to weigh off at harvest.
Tar spot starts as small black lesions and can spread quickly across the plant. 🌽 Choose Pioneer hybrids with strong tar spot scores and plan for timely fungicide application. 📅 Register for our free Tar Spot Management webinar on June 26: bit.ly/4jVw5Fn
SoyShare meeting last night in Mt Albert area. Lots of great content covering principles of crop protection, soil fertility and early stand assessments and management considerations. GREAT group!! @PioneerSeedsCA Thanks @williakd & Marc Maisonneuve for your expertise!

Here is a visual for why it’s CRUCIAL to follow proper mixing procedures when using Enlist 1 chemistry on your Enlist traited soybeans and corn #spraysafe @PioneerSeedsCA

As post emergent soybean spraying ramps up remember to follow proper mixing order with Enlist 1 herbicide. It is CRUCIAL to follow proper mixing order to avoid chemicals salting out in the tank. Never mix Enlist 1 and Glyphosate concentrates together!
Should be the last plot of the season for me. 0.9-1.8 RM in Northumberland county @logel_chris @PioneerSeedsCA
Mr Waterhemp has begun to emerge in the Middle East. A great in-crop options for staying on top of this weed is Enlist1 herbicide on your Enlist traited soybeans. @PioneerSeedsCA
