2024 CARP submission deadline is not that far away

The Canola Council of Canada is now accepting letters of intent for the 2024 Canola Agronomic Research Program (CARP).

The goal of the program is to help canola farmers increase yield and profitability, while reducing production risks and enhancing sustainability with effective knowledge and technology transfer.
 
A list of research priorities can be found on the Alberta Canola, SaskCanola, and Manitoba Canola Growers websites.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, June 16, 2023, with notification and requests for full proposals going out to applicants in early September.

Video: Kansas Wheat Harvest 2026 | Three John Deere S7 700 Combines in Action

Kansas Wheat Harvest 2026 is underway near Alden, Kansas!

In this video, I spend time with Frederick Harvesting, a custom harvesting operation based in Alden, Kansas. Back at their home farm, three new John Deere S7 700 combines equipped with John Deere HDF40 draper heads work through a drought-stricken winter wheat crop while one of the farm's John Deere 8R 370 tractors pulls a Brent 1398 grain cart.

Most of the Frederick Harvesting crew was already busy cutting wheat in southwest Kansas, but these machines remained at home to finish up local fields. Throughout the video, I explain what is happening, discuss the effects of dry conditions on the crop, and capture plenty of aerial footage showing the combines working with the grain elevator at Alden in the background.
