As prairie fields move toward freeze‑up, it’s easy to assume the soil simply shuts down for the season. The surface hardens, the microbes disappear, and the rhizosphere sits frozen in time until spring. But that assumption misses the real story. As grain fills the bins and combines slow down, your soil is about to enter…
Why Burn More Diesel When Your Biological Engine Is Just Starting to Rev?
BEFORE YOU START FALL TILLAGE, CONSIDER WHAT’S HAPPENING BENEATH THE SOIL SURFACE. Harvest is winding down across much of the prairies. The crop is in the bin, the snow hasn’t arrived yet, and for many producers, the urge to start working acres can be difficult to ignore. For generations, fall tillage has been used to…
Percision Desiccation | What Are We Learning This Harvest?
Grower experiences this harvest are beginning to show that the value of precision desiccation may extend well beyond chemical savings. WEED-IT CANADA | SEPTEMBER 2026 Two weeks ago, we wrote about where WEED-IT Quadro-DASH fits into the regenerative agriculture conversation through more intentional desiccation. Two weeks during a Western Canadian harvest can tell us a…
The Rain Didn’t Create the Problem. It Revealed It.
AGRONOMY FIELD NOTE • SEPTEMBER 2026 What this fall’s moisture is teaching us about aggregation, soil biology, compaction and next year’s fertility plan. As if harvest isn’t already a stressful time of year, much of the prairies received a round of significant rainfall this last week, putting a halt to combining. Some regions are watching…
Your Soil Doesn’t Know Harvest Is Over
Why what happens beneath the surface after the combine leaves is next year’s biggest opportunity When the crop is off, the bins are filling, and the combines are being parked for the winter, it’s tempting to think the season is finally over. And while you’ve certainly earned that sigh of relief that comes with grain…
The Most Expensive Weed is the One You Didn’t Need to Spray
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…
