With the near perfect conditions, this is expected to be the biggest wheat planting year in Lambton County and Ontario. At present, Ontario's wheat acres are expected to be over 1 million which has never been done before. Not to mention, the wheat acres that are in the ground look phenomenal (while U.S. winter wheat acres do not). 

Now is a good opportunity for spraying problem-weed fields to get ahead of fleabane and other perennials.

If the winter cooperates, we expect to see most of the wheat pull through and have a great start!

Corn harvest is now in full swing. It is expected that there over 75% of the corn crop off. 

Vomitoxin levels continue to stay low as we progress through harvest, with rumours of some fields to the south being more affected.
