Extent of Cold Temperatures in Ontario

Two significant cold temperature events have occurred in Ontario this month. The maps below highlight the extent and distribution of these two frost events.

While significant injury is visible across a wide swath of the province from this past weekends frost, scouting has shown that despite the injury seen on the crop, corn for the most part should be okay since the growing point of most fields remain below the ground. A few more soybean fields experienced damage necessitating replanting.

Much thanks to the folks at Weather INnovations (WIN) for supplying these maps of the cold temperature extent and distribution.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
