July 2026

Almost a year ago we hosted a compaction day event for the Ontario Soil and Crop Association. If you are thinking about changing tires on equipment, purchasing new equipment or simple modifications like changing tire pressure there is information available on the Field Crop News website to assist with those decisions.  The St. Clair event at the bottom of the Field Crop News contains the data in a PDF for Rutherford; also linked here:  St-Clair_Compaction_Event-2026-03-20-compressed (1) . We would like to thank all those who donated their equipment and those who attended. It was a success because of you. Mark your calendars for Sept 10, 2026 this year. We will be having an open house and social for customers to view the renovations in Dresden, contact us for the details.

SW Ontario wheat harvest is knocking on the door. Before you unload the combine into your wagons, have you ensured they are clean? Especially wagons that were used to transport treated seed for planting. Grain Farmers of Ontario has released a couple documents as a reminder, that elevators have a zero tolerance for treated seed. Contamination of the grain system is a headache that is completely preventable. Please review the attached documents and ensure your equipment is clean.
