Learn the basics of water in soil, the relationship of soil water and soil texture and how soil water impacts the performance of soil applied herbicides.
FMC Tech Talks: Wheat Pete on High-Yielding Wheat
Early planting in the fall of 2020 has set the wheat crop up for tremendous yield potential! But it takes high management to get high yields. Did you know that 30% of final wheat yield is determined simply by the grower?
Learn the management tips and tricks to harvest the highest yielding wheat crop possible, and become one of those top wheat growers.
Join Peter Johnson, @WheatPete, our host for this educational session.

Keeping lentils competitive
Keeping lentils competitive: Adaptive weed control strategies are a must
As overseas markets for Canadian lentils expand, the number of acres planted with the crop is anticipated to grow throughout the prairie provinces in 2021. But with new opportunity come new challenges – specifically in weed management.
IP soybeans 101
IP soybeans 101: Some extra attention can pay off with premiums from food-grade customers
Market premiums for identity-pre- served (IP) soybeans make them an attractive crop for many growers, but that extra profitability brings additional production considerations. Achieving good yields and quality requires different approaches to pest, pathogen and weed control, as well as extra patience.
Keep’em weed free until V3
Problem: Soybean development and yield can be affected by weeds right from the start. Developing soybeans are heavily influenced by what’s going on around them and can sense the presence of weeds even before they’re emerged.
Southern Alberta farmers and FMC team up to make $13,000 charitable donation
A local independent agriculture retailer mobilized farmers around Lethbridge to maximize a donation from FMC. The Christmas Hope Partnership in Lethbridge was one of the big beneficiaries and will get a cheque for $6,000.
Eliminating early weed competition in soybeans
Similar to corn and other crops, controlling weeds early and through the critical weed-free period for soybeans is very important for maximizing yields and crop performance. Although soybeans are quite adaptable, research is showing they are very sensitive to early season weed competition and need all the help they can get until the plants are large enough to crowd out competition.
