Spraying for Fusarium Head Blight

First off today, fusarium head blight symptoms and when to spray. Kelly Turkington, research scientist with Agriculture Canada in Lacombe, says observable symptoms don’t appear until the late heading stage, when it is too late to apply protective fungicide. Therefore, a decision to apply a fungicide must be made prior to this. Turkington explains.

Video: Running a Farm Store + Starting No-Till Gardens w/Blue Goose Farm

We cover: today we are chatting with Keenan McVey of Blue Goose Farm in Ontario Canada. Keenan, along with his wife Ashley, run this small farm and along with it a really interesting, in-town Farm Store that is a little different from what you might think of as a farm store and has proved to be an invaluable marketing option for them. Keenan’s roots are in the culinary world, and the farm was also started with another chef from the area some of you may know, named Matty Matheson (of the excellent show The Bear). Keenan tells us that story as well as helps detail the technical stuff about how the gardens were created and how they are maintained.
