This is one of my favorite quotes…what Mr. Gibson is saying is that many “future” concepts/technologies are being effectively utilized in various parts of the world BUT most of them are not in MOST parts of the world for many reasons. Lack of awareness, intellectual barriers, economic barriers, industry barriers, government regulatory barriers, barriers of academia, resistance to change, reliance on recipes, etc., etc. are all reasons why we don’t use many more otherwise proven tools.
Agriculture is no different from any other industry when it comes to uneven distribution of the future. Head Honcho Elston will touch on a number of 10X+ tools that are little used but once implemented on your farm will make a significant difference immediately. The Old, the New, the Forgotten and the Retooled!

It used to be we had one option – to put all nutrients required to grow a crop down at the time of seeding. Now we know that certain nutrients are required at different times in the plants’ lifecycle. Understanding the growth stages and nutrient demands at each stage will help us tailor our fertility plan to the plant’s needs for it to produce maximum yield while optimizing quality as well as plant health. Mike reveals this through his newfound passion for close-up pictures of the inner workings of the plant world.

European farmers know what the grain buyers are looking for in their product and its not always protein. With the market opening up, prairie farmers will need to manage more than yield and protein.
These tough hombres are chalk full of lessons learned from our European counterparts on managing wheat quality parameters and improving grades.

Nothing is more frustrating in the spring than slowdowns to downright dead stops.
And what’s the cost?
OmniSeed is the “six shooter” of seeding systems. When you are facing down Mother Nature in the spring, you’ll want to be fully loaded with OmniSeed to help you monitor blocked runs, fan speeds, VRT controls, autosteering, bin levels, section controls, and remote access.
With options to incorporate into existing new or used seeding systems, bring your air seeder compatibility questions to the experts at Raven and let them show you how MORE function doesn’t mean MORE complexity
Mike Gerhardt
Frustrated by poor weed control in your flax, field pea, chickpea or sunflower fields? Got an issue of resistant weeds, such as group 2 (and 9) resistant Kochia or cleavers. Did you know that Western Canada has over 20M acres of annual cropland with recorded weed resistance issues?
Even if you do a good job of managing herbicide rotations, it never hurts to have a derringer in your boot. Mike will run us through:
-Herbicide rotations – when might you run into trouble
-Herbicide groups with resistance, groups with potential resistance, weeds with double/triple resistances, how it happens
- What do resistant weeds look like…..recognizing it when you see it
-Value of having a tool outside the chemical group system

Why does plant feedin’ have to be so gosh darn confusing, apply this with seed, that at 2 leaf, never after heading, in the boot, 50% bloom, full flower etc., etc…what does it all this mean and who can keep it straight?
Well, this Wild Bunch will show you a cool new tool that can help you do just that and everybody gets one!
They’re also introducing a new product that demonstrates how nutrients work in tandem with agrichemicals to pre-empt plant stress and maximize the yield potential of the crop.
They are real excited! Come on out and set spell!
Garry Meier
and Perry Weisberg
As farmers and an agronomist, we believe that seeding equipment should be designed to deliver an agronomic package that meets a crop needs. History has taught us that a crop that establishes quickly paired with a well-planned nutrient placement strategy that ensures early season access that doesn’t reduce crop vigor will be a competitive crop, will make weed control an easy task and make harvest a bountiful experience…most of the time!
Garry and Perry will bring to us lessons from the past and explore strategies for the future to ensure crop’s early season nutrient requirements are not too close and not too far, but are just right!
