Thank you! Ag in Motion 2026
It’s hard to believe Ag in Motion has already wrapped up. What a week, and what an incredible event once again.
Ag in Motion continues to be one of the most important events of the year, not only for Johnstons Grain, Johnstons Regenerative, and Treads, but also for the producers and partners we have the privilege of working alongside. Every conversation, handshake, and opportunity to help move a farming operation forward reminds us why we do what we do. Knowing that we can play even a small role in your success is what motivates our team every single day.
From the Peace Country to Altona, Manitoba, and everywhere in between, it was a privilege to connect with producers from across Western Canada. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booths, whether you were a long-time customer, a first-time visitor, or simply curious to learn more. We truly appreciate you taking the time to connect with us.
If we promised to follow up with you, please bear with us for a few days while we unpack, regroup, and quite literally get the dust out of our ears. We’ll be reaching out soon.
Thank you for another outstanding Ag in Motion. We’re already looking forward to seeing you again next year!
Pre-Harvest Applications
New Crop Yellow Peas: Alberta
New crop yellow pea demand is beginning to emerge, with active buying interest for August–September movement across parts of central and southern Alberta. Buyers are currently seeking #2 or Better yellow peas that have been desiccated using Diquat creating an opportunity for growers who are planning ahead.
If your desiccation program includes glyphosate, don’t worry, you still have marketing options! This buyer is able to purchase glyphosate-desiccated peas, although they they will be subject to a modest price discount compared to diquat-desiccated product.
With desiccants becoming increasingly difficult to source this season, planning ahead can make a meaningful difference. At Johnstons Grain, we’ve secured a limited supply of Diquat at $9.49/L so you can stay ahead of the rush rather than scrambling at the last minute. If you’re looking to maximize the value of your yellow peas while ensuring your desiccation program aligns with buyer requirements, reach out to the Johnstons Grain team today. We’re here to help you develop a marketing and desiccation strategy that puts you in the strongest possible position for harvest.
Protect Your Crop & Your Market Access.
Every spray application matters. To help ensure your grain meets Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) requirements in domestic and export markets, always read and follow the product label, including application rates, crop staging, pre-harvest intervals, tank-mix directions and all other label requirements. Good stewardship, accurate record keeping and proper application timing are essential for maintaining market access and protecting the reputation of Canadian grain. Before every application, visit Keep it Clean at www.keepitclean.ca for the latest best management practices and stewardship resources.
