Lots of interest in #Convintro following our video posted earlier this year! One recurring question I’ve received from growers and crop advisors is about soybean crop safety.
The active ingredient in Convintro is #diflufenican (Group 12), a phytoene desaturase (PDS) inhibitor that disrupts carotenoid biosynthesis, resulting in bleaching of susceptible plants.
Over the years, our #WiscWeeds research has occasionally documented temporary soybean leaf bleaching (see photo), particularly following heavy rainfall after crop emergence.
The good news? In trials where we observed this early-season injury, we did not detect soybean yield reductions.
Sharing this photo so growers and crop advisors considering Convintro for 2027 are aware of this potential early-season response and aren’t caught by surprise if they observe it in their fields.

#AgPhDUpdate | Why Use a Yellow
Why should you use a yellow herbicide on your farm?
The yellow herbicides include Prowl, Trifluralin, and Sonalan. Prowl can be used in no-till due to its low vapor pressure. If you go with Trifluralin or Sonalan, you must incorporate those herbicides quickly or they will evaporate. The appeal with the yellows is they are great on grass and quite good on small-seeded broadleaves including kochia, waterhemp, Palmer, and lambsquarters. Plus, you can’t use a yellow in any of the grass crops like corn or wheat, so you’re adding a different mode of action. Think about soybeans 30 years ago. No one had waterhemp and there weren’t as many issues with kochia or lambsquarters. Why? Back then all we had was the yellows and metribuzin. If you use that combo today with Valor or Authority, you will take out all those weeds. You probably haven’t been using a yellow lately, so we encourage you to try some again. The cost is low and the weed control is really good.

If you grow corn and haven't read this, you should. Economically optimum N rate for corn in Iowa varied by over 50 lb/acre in just 3 seasons.
Very applicable to the rest of North America too.
We must do better that just using the same N rate every year. iastate.app.box.com/s/v4eorp…

🌽USDA just admitted a processing error in its September corn estimates and retroactively revised U.S. production up by 28 million bushels. The error affected Kansas, Nebraska and national figures.
USDA says its controversial October estimates remain unchanged.

Parts of Southern #Ontario are starting to see some upper clouds associated with now Post Tropical Cyclone Isaias
Clouds will continue to spread NE through the day but we stay dry until tomorrow
#OnWX #ONStorm
Update on the now Hurricane Isaias 👇
Once the storm leaves the Gulf on Saturday, it is expected to track northward before curving east before it reaches Southern #Ontario
By then it will be downgraded to a Tropical Depression
It still appears the bulk of the rainfall will remain stateside. 5-15mm of rain is possible across Southern sections of the region
Timing- Early Sunday AM to Monday AM
Will continue to monitor and update

❄️ Snow next weekend anyone? 😅
Big cool down is expected next weekend and it *may* come with the first flakes of the season for some
A strong cold front is being modeled to push through Southern #Ontario late next week and behind it, overnight lows will be cold enough to support flurries if Lake Effect bands set up
Accumulations are not likely at this point but the first flakes are certainly possible
Will update!

They are also confirming an EF1 downburst near #Seaforth
That brings the tally to (4) tornadoes and (3) downbursts from the severe weather outbreak

Ended up with 360 chainroll. Calmer 3x price with tariff and no firm delivery date. Pretty sure the lawn mower blades won't be turned on this fall. For the type of farming I do I think I'll be happy. Zero info on them online so here is some r5 performance. #ontag

Fascinating graph just released by Statistics Canada. It's obvious why I was taught lots about oats and "mixed grain" (mostly oats and barley) when first entering @UofGuelphOAC in autumn 1961 - but very little on corn - and almost nothing on soybeans.
How ON ag has changed.
