Why the future of weed control is about precision, not more product Harvest has a way of exposing inefficiencies. The combine rolls through a field, the yield map lights up, and suddenly the questions start. Why was that patch so poor? Why is kochia showing up there every year? Why am I spending thousands of…
2027 Success Starts Behind the Combine in 2026
AGRONOMY FIELD NOTE • AUGUST 2026 As harvest approaches, most conversations focus on yield. How many bushels are in the field? Did the fungicide pay? How did the crop handle the weather? Those questions matter. But for regenerative producers, harvest isn’t the end of the season. It’s the beginning of the next one. One of…
Before the Storm: How Resilience is Built Long Before the Stress Arrives
AGRONOMY FIELD NOTE • JULY 2026 Every producer has seen it. Two fields get hit by the same hailstorm. The same heat wave. The same flooding event. A week later, one crop looks like it’s bouncing back while the other remains pale, stalled, and struggling. Why? The answer often isn’t the stress event itself—it’s how…
Built to Bend, Not Break
How Regenerative Agronomy is Setting Farms Apart in 2026 Every growing season reveals the strengths—and weaknesses—of a farming system. In 2026, the challenges across much of the prairies include abundant moisture and cooler temperatures delaying crops, tying up nutrients, increasing disease pressure, and limiting access in wet fields. While these conditions have created tremendous yield…

Frost or Finished? Why some crops survive frost better
If we had to characterize spring on the Prairies with one word this year, it would be inconsistent. From moisture deficits to surprise snow storms, and soil temperatures often lagging far behind warming air temperatures, growers have been more cautious to begin planting. And we don’t blame them. High frost risk, high input prices, and moisture unknowns make…
