Ontario beekeepers get 1.7M boost support

Canada and Ontario governments are funding 334 projects for 206 beekeepers to protect honeybees from pests, disease, and climate threats while supporting food security and local agriculture.

Nitrogen protection is getting a leg up with new CENTURO™ A-PRO nitrogen stabilizer

Adding to its ease of use is its application flexibility. Built for the variability of fall weather, CENTURO A-PRO enables growers to widen their fall anhydrous ammonia application window and apply two to three weeks earlier than normal when soil temperatures drop to 15°C and continue to decline. This wider fall window helps growers keep going during go-time and ensures they can get all their acres covered.

Crop Report for the Period July 22 to July 28, 2025

Sporadic showers brought much needed moisture and, in some cases, hail to certain areas of the province, while cooler weather brought relief to crops still in flower. Producers are hoping for more moisture to help with head and pod filling, but for many advanced crops, additional moisture will have little impact on yield at this stage. In some areas, a second cut of hay is unlikely due to the lack of moisture and crops are being cut for feed where shortages are anticipated. Rain fell in a few areas of the province this past week, but many regions received only trace amounts or no rain at all. The Richmound area reported the most rain this week with 62 millimetres (mm), followed by the Meadow Lake and Alida areas with 47 and 46 mm respectively. Forty-one mm of rain fell in the Carnduff area and 38 mm was recorded in the Oxbow area. Variable rainfall across the province was not enough to maintain topsoil moisture in many areas this week. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 65 per cen

Saskatoon company tests peat inoculant replacement

€A Saskatoon-based company has begun field trials of a replacement for granular peat inoculant. Peat has been used for decades to inoculate crops such as peas and lentils and is a biological that provides consistent benefits, said Dave Greenshields, who founded Insight Plant Health in 2020. However, customers are looking for a replacement, he told people attending a recent Canada-Saskatchewan Irrigation Diversification Centre field day. Peat is mined in Minnesota and costs about $1.50 per kilogram, he said. Shipping that to Saskatoon or Winnipeg and then bagging it and selling it comes at a low margin, he said. His company has developed Clean Granular Technology, which uses seed hulls instead. Greenshields said they tested many different options. “There’s about 15,000 tonnes per year of granular inoculant goes out,” he said. “So right away you need something that you can get 15,000 tonnes of every year consistently. “We tested anything we could get our hands on.” That included
