And boom goes the dynamite!! Happy to share my MSc research has been published in Can J Plant Sci @cdnsciencepub. One last big thanks to @Agronomydoc and Dr Dean Spaner for the opportunity. @UofAALES @AlbertaGrains @SaskWheat @4Rnutrients #cndag #wheat

DEKALB canola is built for early maturity and quick drydown.
Start scouting DEKALB canola to harvest when:
✔️ Pods on mains stem begin changing colour
✔️ Seeds start changing colour in lower pods
✔️ Frost or weather risks are in the forecast
It’s a great combo!
Corn’s best friend is #Laudis !!! 🌽 Look at those crispy weeds.
Laudis + Pardner + RoundUp Transorb.

50% of the heads are flowering, perfect moment for a fungicide in Winter wheat.

A story rooted in the food we share 🌾
Dr. Dean Spaner helped improve the crops that feed families every day—making a lasting impact that goes beyond the farm.

A great supervisor who insisted on critical thought. A good skill to have in agriculture, thanks Dean.

So sad to hear the news of Dr. Dean Spaner’s passing. A grad school friend @mcgillu and @UAlberta colleague - his #wheat breeding career created superb new cultivars while mentirung the next generation of breeders & crop scientists. RIP friend. @RDARAlberta @CIMMYT @UofAResearch

DK401TL canola from @Bayer4CropsCA sets a new standard with high yield potential and effective weed control options. Tim Darragh highlights its agronomic strength, making it a valuable choice for growers in 2026. Learn more about its benefits and performance here: ow.ly/yBWt50XeX7s #sponsored
Another @DEKALB_Canada #truflex and LibertyLink trial off yesterday near Castor. Field average was over 52bu. We try and get @FieldView harvest layers on top of raw plot weights and moistures! #cdnag @Bayer4CropsCA

DK801LL(left) doing great things near Rosemary AB! The stubble illustrates how @DEKALB_Canada canola naturally dries down leading to easier and quicker straight cut harvest than the leading LL competitor canola! @Bayer4CropsCA #cdnag
If you know a student interested in working in market development canola, corn and crop protection trials with me for the summer then please share! A great role where agronomy comes to life. Follow the link below > Student > Alberta > Customer Solutions Intern Lethbridge/Taber

Update: Genetic tests provide new insight into the distribution of Group 14-resistant kochia. Samples continue to arrive. Thanks to everyone who submitted samples! Stay tuned for the complete story this winter.
I’ll do my best @voss_ag impression - Natural lines meet water lines in this #truflex trial @Bayer4CropsCA. #cdnag
The last drone shot before this #truflex trial goes in the bin! Market development trials are a great way to see how your hybrid of choice performed in the most recent conditions. #cdnag @Bayer4CropsCA
How much does harvest ease come into play? Check out how @DEKALB_Canada 801LL Canola naturally dries down leading to uniform and early harvest. Next two pics show varrying regrowth from a leading LibertyLink competitor! @Bayer4CropsCA #cdnag #leavetheflowersinjuly

A friendly reminder that sometimes after a long tough day and you’re tired out the problems of the day can feel the size of a mountain
But after a good nights sleep you’ll wake up to discover they were mole hills all along

Whatever your canola needs are, @DEKALB_Canada has something for you. I’m biased but our dual-trait #400 series canola offers the most flexibility by spraying gr 9 and/or 10 depending on weed pressure. #cdnag
That’s right 😏 Straight Cut Plus, Clubroot, Blackleg, Ultra-Early, Early, and Mid Maturity, Excellent Dry-Down & Harvestability, Very Good Standability and High Yielding 💥 @DEKALBCanada @Bayer4CropsCA
Well boom goes the dynamite once again! This paper based on my thesis research took many hours in the field, and many more to write but was a great experience the whole way through. @UofAALES @AAFC_Canada
