Results and yields posted here."Always interesting to read and hear the internet and coffee shop yield reports, the Ontario crop will likely average 150 or a little less yet its all 200 plus on here....we sure are not seeing those kinds of yields in the Hamilton area, we must…"
Tom Cox replied to Roadrunner's discussion Thank goodness for the rainfall...but will the corn and soys catch up and make a crop?"Rain has been very spotty in our area (between Brantford and Hamilton) with some areas still very dry. There are some decent looking crops and then a few miles away some dreadful looking ones. Some of the areas on lighter soil that…"
Tom Cox replied to Joe Dales's discussion Ontario Wheat Yields and Reports. Post your yields and thoughts, pictures and videos on the harvest here."A couple days into wheat harvest here between Brantford and Hamilton. Yields and moistures quite variable.

Yields have been highly variable from some up in the 100 bu range to those in the 60's. The best yields seem to come from nearer the lake where they was some lake effect and…"
Tom Cox replied to Kevin Stewart's discussion AgVisionTV Online: Kevin Stewart Talks to Dr Patrick Moore, Founder of GreenPeace about Farming and Activism."Kevin,
I had the opportunity several years ago to speak at a FCC sponsored event that you hosted and featured Dr Moore. I found his presentation to be one of the most thoughtful and well done of any I have ever heard. I at times get discouraged at…"
Tom Cox replied to Kevin Stewart's discussion AgVisionTV.com: Watch the video discussion on Farm Debt and what it means."Thanks Kevin, I've always enjoyed your program but never seem to remember to watch on the weekends when its on here. The internet format suits me a lot better.
