Event Description

With the first ever virtual 2021 Ontario Ag Conference (OAgC21) just around the corner, don’t miss the chance to share this valuable learning opportunity with your customers. The teams from Ontario’s premier crops conferences have “Come Together” to develop a virtual conference platform and program that offers tremendous benefits to anyone involved in crop agriculture across the province. With the inability to meet together face to face this winter, the OAgC21 team has left no stone unturned to bring great speakers, sponsors, content and opportunities to Ontario’s crop farmers and all who support them.

Easy to use platform will make “on-line learning” effortless for registrants as they navigate from session to session, visit tradeshow sponsors or join the newly added 7 “TEC Talk Tuesdays” starting January 12th. Help us to ensure that people take the opportunity to participate in this event and encourage them to join us starting January 6 & 7th for 3 months of great learning, all from the comfort of their own home.

The Ontario Agricultural Conference is a combined effort of The Southwest Agricultural Conference, Golden Horseshoe and Heartland SCIAs and Eastern Ontario Crop Conferences. AS COVID-19 continues to create many unique challenges including our ability to meet in person we are committed to keeping our agricultural community updated with current and timely information. The combined team is very excited to bring you an incredible line up of speakers, presenting 40 sessions, providing attendees with interactive sessions full of the tremendous knowledge and experience they have come to expect.

July Heat Wave Puts Midwest Corn and Soybeans Under Pressure

A major heat wave is building across the central and eastern United States, raising concerns for corn and soybean crops as July begins.

- Derecho climatology (Gaustini/Bosart): a corridor through the northern Plains/upper Midwest carries a >65% annual chance of a derecho-strength MCS, driven by northwest flow on the ridge's periphery. We must watch this region over the next 60 days. More on this below... - Cold North Atlantic: Years with the current North Atlantic cold-tongue pattern favor western troughs + heat pushing into the Midwest. Caveat: rapid warming on the south side of the cold plume means the simple composite likely understates the evolving pattern. Plus the Gulf of Alaska has been warming which could negate these impacts. See this part of the video for a deeper dive. - Modeling caution: During Summer, global models like the ECMWF and GFS are at their weakest due to coarse resolution and their inability to resolve convection. So we lean on the hi-res models like the HRRR and then ensembles for large scale anomalies. Be very careful with model forecasts to total precipitation... - National yield projection

A major heat wave is building across the central and eastern United States, raising concerns for corn and soybean crops as July begins. Nutrien’s Eric Snodgrass says producers should closely monitor high heat, overnight temperatures, derecho risk and dry pockets in key growing regions.

Swine Health Advisory Committee Sets Five Focus Areas

The Swine Health advisory committee is focused on turning strategy into action. To help advance the National Swine Health Strategy, the committee identified five focus areas that will drive action and measurable progress for U.S. pork producers. A Producer-Led Push for Swine Health Pork producers need a swine health strategy that actually works on the farm. The Swine Health advisory committee was created to make sure that happens. For the inaugural meeting in May, the advisory committee’s twenty-seven producers, veterinarians, USDA staff and packers/processors met in Des Moines and left with a clear direction: build on what’s working and accelerate action. The National Swine Health Strategy (NSHS) only succeeds if it reflects producers’ needs, and the advisory committee is responsible for ensuring it delivers. The advisory committee identified five focus areas to drive measurable progress in swine health. The Top 5 Focus Areas Driving Progress Build Industry Buy-In for the NSHS Fi

Closing the Gaps: New Research Investments Support Swine Disease Elimination

The Swine Disease Research task force recently funded new PRRSV and PEDV research projects that support National Swine Health Strategy priorities. These projects aim to close critical knowledge gaps and provide producers with practical information to support disease elimination efforts. Disease elimination doesn’t happen with a single breakthrough. It happens when the industry asks and answers the hard questions that still stand in the way. New research projects recently selected by the Swine Disease Research task force will address those hard questions. Each project aligns with the National Swine Health Strategy (NSHS) priority of eliminating endemic diseases, addresses key knowledge gaps and aims to deliver information to help producers make better herd health decisions. The latest research investments concentrate on two diseases that continue to challenge U.S. pork production: porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV).
