Soybean harvest is roughly 95% completed, with all but the late planed beans now off. Overall, the trends suggested that the later beans on average, performed better than the earlier planted beans. 

We appreciate all of our customers helping to make #beanharvest22 another safe and successful year!

Most projected wheat acres have now been planted in our locale. 

This fall's wheat planting conditions to date may have been the best we have seen in quite a few years. It is expected that Ontario as a whole will have a record wheat planting year in which we expect to see over 1 million acres seeded (with the highest estimates shooting towards 1.4 million acres). 

We are now starting to see some fields of corn come off for grain. Early yields have been exceedingly variable. 

So far, much of the corn we have seen has been in the in the 18-25% moisture level range. 

Going forward, concerns over lodging and test weight remain, but fears of VOM at this point have been low.

Map and Potash deliveries and application have been steady. If the weather permits, we are prepared to continue to spread on more fields. 

Once the wind and rain co-operate, it will be time to spray the clover off of wheat fields that were cover cropped.
