Any reason Sporecaster and Tarspotter apps not working? Says weather not available. It is a handy app to keep track of different locations especially with the isolated rainfalls

Wait times are longer everywhere in Canada. Here in Eastern Ontario we have many Quebec residents going to Ontario hospitals since alot less wait times

You are correct. Check out comparison of Toronto vs Delhi for example. These air quality readings, I would love to see how Toronto has improved since carbon tax has been collected. Those readings are only facts needed to see if carbon tax is working.

Finally time to get cover crop worked in. Frost last week basically slowed down growth and still good time to get it disc ripped in dry conditions

Put in after winter wheat and straw traded to dairy neighbour for manure. Bee friend said a bad summer for bees to eat so my plan for cover crop is lots of flowers and no burndown needed

@OntAg I have an issue with our municipality owning an abandoned railway line used for an ATV trail and riders repeatedly leave it to play in my field. Anyone have legal advice how to solve issue since happens each year.

So apparently @HydroOne thinks they can drive anywhere in farmers fields without permission and not even on a right of way! This is 3rd crew in a row that has done whatever they feel like doing. Anyone else in Ontario have trouble with them? @GrainFarmers

Is this what you call nature protection where you all fly in with personal jets as well?

60 is way too high anytime of year. Here is a general chart to show what you should be running indoor for humidity vs outdoor temperature. Our furnace has a humidifier built in and will automatically change indoor humidity level based on outside temperature and no issues

2020 I don’t think GDU’s gave us an accurate reading for crop progression. Corn seed went in early end April beginning May but May 13th really slowed it down with -4C and took awhile to get crop growing well and there was also moisture stress in July/August so slowed down plant
Unfortunately aphids hit threshold and time to spray them with Sefina so beneficials not affected
