Surprisingly high yields in Brussels area. 40's, 50's and even some in the high 60's.

Yield monitor was hitting 77 in low area of farm in S05T6 beans.

Plot showed T6's out-yielding SO3W4's by 4 bushels. Toss-up on net return - seed cost/premiums.

St. Lawrence Seaway Workers Ratify New Four-Year Agreement

Unionized workers at the St. Lawrence Seaway have ratified a new four-year collective agreement, providing labour stability along a critical Canadian grain and commodity export corridor. The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation said in a release Wednesday the agreement covers employees represented by five Unifor locals. The previous collective agreement expired on March 31, 2026. “A four-year agreement provides greater stability and predictability for our customers, our employees and the industries that depend on the Seaway,” said SLSMC president and CEO Jim Athanasiou. The agreement is particularly significant for the grain sector following the disruption caused by an eight-day Unifor strike in October 2023. About 360 workers walked off the job Oct. 22, shutting down most Seaway lock operations and halting vessel traffic between the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River during the busy fall grain shipping season.
