Johnstons: Out & About!
Keep your eyes peeled today! Many of our Johnston’s Grain, CONNECTED, and Regenerative team members will be out and about attending events across Alberta.
A large portion of the team will be participating in Origin’s Second Annual Charity Golf Tournament in support of STARS, taking place at the Strathmore Golf & Country Club. We’re proud to support such an important cause and encourage everyone to come together to help raise as much as possible for the critical, life-saving services that STARS provides to communities across Western Canada.
Meanwhile, a few members of the team will be making their way to Oyen for Prairie Wind Milling’s Customer Appreciation Event! We are looking for to connecting with growers and industry partners while discussing quality, production, and market opportunities.
Be sure to follow our social media channels throughout the day, as we’ll be sharing updates, photos, and insights from both events—or at least we’ll do our best to keep up! If you would like to support STARS and their incredible work, we’ve included a donation link below for your convenience. Every contribution helps make a difference!
The FUN In: FUNGICIDE
Moisture levels have been abundant across much of Western Canada, and seasonal weather forecasts indicate the potential for continued moisture through parts of the summer. While adequate moisture is critical for strong yield potential, excessive rainfall can create its own set of challenges, including increased pressure from diseases such as sclerotinia stem rot, fusarium head blight, and septoria leaf spot, along with lodging, nutrient loss, and reduced crop quality. This could be the year when a timely fungicide application becomes an important management tool to protect yield potential, address emerging disease pressure, and help carry your crop toward what many hope will be a much-needed bumper harvest for Canadian farmers.
Johnston’s Grain puts the “fun” in fungicide. With an ever-expanding lineup of fungicide solutions and highly competitive pricing, we’re ready to help you protect your investment, maintain crop health, and maximize the return on every acre. Contact your Johnston’s Grain representative today to discuss the right fungicide program for your farm.
Feed & Specialty Grains Update
Feed grain markets remain generally steady, supported by consistent domestic demand and adequate nearby supplies. Activity in specialty crop markets has slowed modestly as the industry transitions toward new crop, with many buyers having already secured a significant portion of their short-term requirements. Remaining old-crop business is becoming increasingly selective, with trade focused on specific quality specifications, delivery windows, and inventory needs rather than broad-based procurement. As harvest approaches, market participants are shifting their attention to new-crop production prospects, including yield potential, quality, and overall availability, which is contributing to a more cautious tone in both feed and specialty crop markets. While movement continues, the pace of trading has naturally eased as the market works through the final stages of old-crop execution and prepares for the arrival of new-crop supplies.
