"We are pleased to be having our 23rd annual farm show and plowing match in the municipality of Tweed. The show is Hosted by Doug and Patsy Countryman. Co-hosts are Glen and Debbie Holmes and Bruce and Lori Palmateer, also thanks to Tim Hunt and family for supplying land for parking.

The show site address is 2 Countryman Road and runs Aug 17th and 18th.

We have a tented city consisting of 250 plus exhibitions displaying the latest agricultural equipment and products. There are many agricultural services displaying their products and capabilities along with technical support.

For the antique buffs and curious the very large display of antique tractors and equipment attracts the young and old. Again this year a vintage stationary Case steam engine will be providing the power for our threshing demonstration, Of course the antique tractor parade is a major attraction.

For our woodlot and conservation minded people our large woodlot and display and demonstration is a must see.

Not to be left out our ladies committee provides an excellent program of crafters, fashion show, and many other activities to please the ladies.

The children are not forgotten either, there are crafts in the children's tent plus new activities this year to keep the children entertained. "

U.S. Spring Wheat Condition Rises; Winter Wheat Harvest Accelerates

The condition of the 2026 U.S. spring wheat crop improved over the past week, while the winter wheat harvest advanced rapidly and crop ratings remained far below last year. Monday’s USDA crop progress report rated 55% of the national spring wheat crop in good to excellent condition as of Sunday, up 3 percentage points from the previous week but 2 points below the 57% rated good to excellent a year ago. In North Dakota, the largest spring wheat-producing state, the crop remained at 61% good to excellent. Minnesota improved 4 points to a strong 90%, while South Dakota slipped 2 points to 50%. Montana recorded the largest improvement, with its spring wheat rating climbing 9 points to 19% good to excellent. However, 70% of the state’s crop was still rated only fair and another 11% was poor. Spring wheat emergence reached 95%, up from 87% the previous week and ahead of both 88% last year and the five-year average of 89%. Six per cent of the crop was headed, compared with 4% last yea

Alberta Crops Catch Up After Widespread Rains, But Seeding Delays Persist in Northern Regions

Provincial seeding reaches 97%, soil moisture improves across Alberta, and crop emergence continues despite cooler conditions Frequent, soaking rains across Alberta over the past week have delivered a welcome boost to soil moisture reserves and crop emergence, although the moisture has also slowed the final push to complete seeding in some northern areas. According to Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation’s latest Crop Report, provincial seeding progress for major crops has reached 97%, putting growers within striking distance of the five-year average of 100%. The South and Central regions have completed seeding, while producers in the North East, North West and Peace regions continue working around wet field conditions. Moisture Improves Across Most of Alberta The widespread rainfall has significantly improved soil moisture conditions across much of the province. Surface soil moisture ratings are now well above normal in many areas, helping support crop emergence and early-season dev

EMILI explores how AI-powered agtech increases sustainability, efficiency

AI is a powerful, multi-purpose technology that has the potential to hyperoptimize on-farm activities to a more precise level than ever to help farmers reduce costs, manage data, and increase productivity. Of the 30+ equipment and technologies being demonstrated and tested on EMILI’s Innovation Farms powered by AgExpert in 2026, a third involve AI. By deploying technology in a fully-operational Manitoba farm setting, EMILI is able to validate what works and provide innovators with feedback on areas of improvement. “Ground truthing the technology is critically important to ensure it is solving a problem for farmers and providing accurate data insights,” said Koroscil. “AI models don’t always get it right. Our team spends hours in the field counting weed populations, checking soil moisture levels, evaluating environmental conditions, and collecting agronomic measurements to provide boots-on-the-ground validation of what works and what doesn’t.” Evaluating AI-powered technology in p
