Growth accumulation is much more advanced than normal in Ontario, so calendar days can be ignored when it comes to weed hunting and initial nitrogen application.
As part of this week’s issue, Wheat Pete’s words, host Peter Johnson discusses the impact of early crop schedules, including answers to questions about spring weed control and nitrogen rates, and identifying glyphosate-tolerant lamb pens in Quebec. Pete also shared some lessons he learned about leadership at his RealAg team’s annual summit last week.
