Event Description

The Diagnostic Day is designed specifically to improve the problem solving skills of seed, fertilizer and chemical industry personnel and agricultural consultants.
	The SouthWest Crop Diagnostic Day provides agribusiness personnel with "hands-on" learning experiences to assist in the correct identification and treatment of crop problems common to southern Ontario. The program provides a "real-world" environment where agriculturists can hone their crop trouble-shooting skills and evaluate new and alternative management strategies. To facilitate discussion with speakers, participants will be broken into small groups of approximately 20 people. Each group will rotate through the various stops.
Individuals will have the opportunity to customize their Diagnostic Day experience. 11 of the 12 topics offered will be completed. Technology transfer, research and teaching staff from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and Ag Industry will conduct the sessions.
The Ontario Ministry Of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs in a co-operative effort with the University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus presents the SouthWest Crop Diagnostic Days

With Support from the Southwest Soil and Crop Improvement Association

Alberta Crops Still Above Average, But Moisture Extremes Mean Farmers Can Expect Two Different Harvest Stories

Provincial crop ratings remain stronger than the five-year average, but Alberta farmers are dealing with a sharp regional split: declining moisture in the South and Central regions and persistent wet conditions farther north. Alberta’s 2026 crop is still looking comparatively strong heading into August, but the provincial average masks very different conditions from one end of the province to the other. As of Aug. 4, 58.1 per cent of Alberta’s major crops were rated in good-to-excellent condition. That is well above the five-year average of 42.7 per cent and close to the 10-year average of 53.9 per cent. At the same time, the provincial rating slipped from 60.3 per cent a week earlier, reflecting growing pressure in several regions. The bigger story for farmers is the province’s moisture divide. Parts of southern and central Alberta continue to dry out, with soil moisture reserves declining. In the North East, North West and Peace regions, producers are facing almost the opposite p
