Listen: Use caution when spring banding fertilizer

With the varied amount of moisture across the province over the 2022 season, some producers weren’t able to apply fall banded fertilizer.

For farmers who don’t have the capability to band fertilizer at seeding, this will put pressure on spring banding and may push some to stretch the limits of seed placed fertilizer.

Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Crops Extension Specialist Kim Stonehouse says this can be a concern as ammonium toxicity and salt effects can reduce germination and damage seedlings.

We’ll NEVER Use These Grain Bins Again!

Video: We’ll NEVER Use These Grain Bins Again!


A huge change is happening on the farm — our new grain bin has officially arrived, and that means we’ll never use some of our old grain bins again. In today's video, we take delivery of the new grain bin, look back at the old bins that have been part of our farm for years, and talk about why this upgrade is such a big deal for harvest, grain storage, and the future of our family farm.

This is more than just a grain bin delivery. It’s the end of an era and the start of a major farm upgrade that will completely change how we handle corn during harvest. From old grain storage to a brand-new bin setup, this project is one of the biggest improvements we’ve made at the farm.

Join me as the new grain bin shows up, the bin project continues, and we prepare for a new chapter in harvest efficiency on our Minnesota family farm.
