Crop Diagnostic School At Scott

This year's Crop Diagnostic School is being held at the Scott Research Farm.
 
The event is geared to agronomists, producers, industry and retail reps to help improve their crop scouting skills and agronomic knowledge.
 
This year’s event focuses in on Herbicide Residue Symptomology, Fungicide Management, Insect Identification, Clubroot Management, and Intercropping.
 
The Herbicide Residue station talks about how some herbicides can remain in the soil for extended periods of time; which means they also have the potential to injure sensitive crops that are seeded in the following seasons. 
 
The Fungicide Management station looks at fungicide timing and disease cycles. 
 
The insect identification station focuses on insects of concern for 2019 as well as new pests. 
 
Participants will also learn more about clubroot prevention and management.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
