Planning for Next Years Rotation?

Blackleg has become a greater concern, as it has been found in Starland County. With this recent year of abnormal moisture in the early season, this creates a huge potential for blackleg in canola. The best method of controlling blackleg is healthy crop rotation. Having a full 3–4-year rotation is key to managing blackleg. The symptoms of Blackleg can be seen as spotting on leaves, lower stem lesions, and internal blackening in stem near soil surface.

🌾The Harvest 2026 Is Coming to an End🌾

This means 2026 is in the books and it's time to prepare for the 2027 season. This first step often is soil sampling and seed testing. Soil sampling is a great way to know what your soil has for nutrients but also what it’s lacking for next year's crop. A seed test is a great step in preparation to know the quality, germination, vigor and the overall usability of your bin run seed. Contact Starland County ASB for sample bags.

🚜 Harvest Season Is Beginning 🚜

As harvest gets underway, you'll notice more large farm equipment traveling on local roads. We ask everyone to please slow down, stay alert, and be patient when approaching agricultural machinery.

Remember:
✅ Farm equipment travels at slower speeds.
✅ Pass only when it is safe and legal to do so.
✅ Allow extra stopping distance.
✅ Watch for equipment turning into fields, yards, and approaches.

Our farmers are working hard to bring in this year's crop safely and efficiently. A little patience goes a long way in keeping everyone safe during harvest season.

Please share this message and help spread awareness. Stay safe and have a great harvest season!

🚨 Pest Alert: Bertha Armyworm 🚨

Surveys from across Alberta indicate that localized areas are experiencing high bertha armyworm populations. Now is a good time to scout canola and other susceptible crops for signs of feeding damage.

Bertha armyworm infestations can be highly variable from field to field, and populations can increase quickly. Regular scouting is the best way to identify potential issues before economic losses occur.

Fields with heavy w**d pressure, particularly kochia and lamb's quarters, may be at greater risk.

✅ Check fields frequently and contact your agronomist if populations approach economic thresholds.

🔥 Harvest Season Fire Safety Reminder 🔥

As harvest gets underway, it's important to remember that hot equipment, dry crops, and windy conditions can create a serious fire risk.

✅ Inspect and clean machinery regularly to remove dust and crop residue.
✅ Check bearings, belts, and electrical systems for signs of wear. ✅ Keep fire extinguishers charged, accessible, and inspected.
✅ Carry water or tillage equipment when conditions are high risk. ✅ Report fires immediately by calling 911.

A few minutes spent on prevention can save crops, equipment, and property. Let's work together to keep this harvest season safe and successful.
