Join us on March 20th for a grower meeting.
We will talk about drone use with assistance from Jason Deveau (OMAFA), managing N rates with Dale Cowan (AGRIS), and Peter Sikkema from the University of Guelph will discuss the 6 steps to weed control in soybeans.
Lastly, Chris White will be discussing our upcoming 2026 Yield Tour. In addition we will update the group on the work of Innovation Farm Ontario.
We are pleased to provide the test plot results from the Corn plot we hosted for Dekalb.
Bob Thirlwall from Bayer assisted with the weigh wagon.
Happy to report that we are sharing some the monster yields, similar to what is being reported in other areas as well. Has been quite a gift to our local producers.
Dekalb 56-26 was the yield winner.
Dekalb 102-02, 101-33 and the new 99-59 (replacement for the popular 49-09) also had very strong showings.
Full report attached.
If you are curious, our Nitrogen program includes approximately 200lbs of N, in a 3 way split application: Planter 28lbs, UAN Sidedress with Tribune 40gal, and Urea Top Dress 120lbs Urea with Anvol.
Fungicide was applied, using Delaro low rate plus Proline Top Up.

The purpose is to understand, using a physical testing unit, the factors that affect CPP performance, spray droplet management, and comparing adjuvents.
Winfield is providing expert staff to assist with the clinic, including a live demonstration unit, so you can see the impact of various tips and adjuvents on spray droplet performance.
Lunch is provided so an RSVP is required by March 31st. Call the office at 5196959999

We are happy to host a Grower Pesticide Training Course through www.opep.ca
The course begins at 8:45 am, at the Florence Community Center, in Florence.
If you wish to challenge the exam only, that time is at 1:00pm
The manuals are available ahead of time by coming to Haggerty Creek, or at the course location.
For more information, you can contact the staff at OPEP 18006528573 or at Haggerty.
In this field, this is year 6 of corn on corn in a no-till (we have coulters on planter) situation.
Monster yields. 3 pass N program, if you are interested in it.
We applied 2 rounds of fungicide, once in late July and once in late August, for Vomitoxin and tar spot.
While the Dekalb 5982 did yield slightly better, the Pride was drier netting us a few more dollars. All in all pretty equal.
Pretty light sand here – rain (and heat) makes grain. That being said, the field looked terrible for most of June and July and did not turn around until late July. The yields surprised us as well.
I am happy to post our plot results for 2024. This is not the plot located at the Haggerty Office – unfortunately due to rain that plot sustained severe water damage from heavy rains in June.
Overall yields were excellent. We only sprayed this plot once with Delaro-Proline.
For fun here is a picture of one of the heavy rain events from my office window.

Just came across a new program from FCC AgExpert relating to it’s new Sustainability Incentive program.
Similar to other programs, this one has some potential returns for producers to agree with certain sustainabilty initiatives.
The mention of this program is not a statement of support or opinion. However I would suggest that opportunities such as this are starting to come along.
Check it out. $2,000 for something you may already be doing is not a bad starting point.
Please visit us at Booth 317 for the 2024 Edition of the CK Farm Show.
We have enjoyed participating in the past at this local event.
This year, we plan to have the following at the show:
Our new Soil Sampling machine.
Updates from Raven Precision along with the sample display.
Staff on hand to discuss Agronomy and other questions.
Haggerty AgRobotics staff will also be present with a Naio Oz and an attached seeding unit.
See you there!
