AGRONOMY WEEKLY NEWS

With corn harvest starting to wrap up, and soybean harvest mostly in the rearview mirror, we will be releasing more intermittent editions of Agronomy weekly as we move into the off-season. We will be sure to inform our readers of any important dates such as seed, fertilizer and crop protection prepaids, as well as our AGM. Thanks for reading!

In Other News...

Now is the time to start thinking about next year's crop! Touch base with your agronomist early to lock in your product, or set up a time to discuss a plan! Our agronomists have been looking at plot data and running numbers (and can factor in your soil sampling information!), and are a great asset to use when deciding on which seed, fertilizer and chemical is best for your farm.


Harvest is in the end stages for corn (85-90% completed) and soybeans (99%), and wheat is off to the races with a strong start. Corn and soybean yields were wildly varied this year from some worst-ever yields to some best-ever depending on rain quantities.


Tonight, Wanstead Co-op is sponsoring the Alvinston Killer Bees Farmer Appreciation Game (8:15pm vs. the Lakers)! We are happy to support local community groups like this hockey organization! We hope to see you there!!


Wanstead Co-op is proud to host a canned food drive in support of Christmas for Everyone! The cans from this event will be collected and added to food and toy hampers that will be delivered to hundreds of families across the county! For more information on Christmas for Everyone's mission, check out their website! https://christmasforeveryonepetrolia.weebly.com/


Starting November 22nd, and running until December 6th, both our branches will be a drop off location for food and personal hygiene donations for Christmas for Everyone. Please consider dropping off a donation when visiting our office! Lets help make the Christmas season a little more special for those less fortunate in our communities!
