Insights from Twitter posts

We invited the ag community to share how it was celebrating Canada Day. A number of you replied with comments, photos and even videos.

Many of the tweets focused on rain. Carrie Woolley, a Norfolk County farmer, was one of the first to join the conversation, sharing her excitement over the rain showers. 

Another Twitter user, Nicole Mackellar, said a “great way to start Canada Day” was “listening to a gentle rain come down.”

Similarly, Shelley McPhail, a farmer in Almonte, shared a video of the rain pouring down on her farm.

For others, the day remained dry - some farmers were harvesting hay.

Some tweeted about their off-farm celebrations. One person said he was watching an outdoor movie. Another shared the photo of her supper – which had fully Canadian ingredients.

The Farms.com team hopes you enjoyed the long weekend.

From seed vigor and mechanical damage to stress performance and pathogen pressure, Patin explains how deeper testing can help companies differentiate their seed, protect value, and drive real return on investment.

If seed testing is something you only think about when you have to, this discussion might change how you see and use it.
