Fall conditions in Ontario are quite dry and that has some growers wondering if the wheat is OK. More farmers are also perhaps getting a little carried away with fall field work, because, well, there’s time and dry conditions to do some!
To discuss what’s going on with the wheat crop, why it’s always the right idea to do a circle check around equipment that’s been sitting a few days, and if dust from the dry corn crop is a danger, tune in to this episode of Wheat Pete’s Word!

Summary
- Thanks for listening to the Word here on RealAg! There are other places to listen, too.
- Remember: lights on for safety
- Pete messed up! Someone stole the draw bolts/pins on the grain wagons. Do a circle check before you go anywhere
- U.S. winter wheat not looking great and a big Ontario crop in the ground; watch the blips in the market
- Fall moisture is good for wheat
- Soybean averages only so-so. Mistakes are lessons!
- Fungicide plot results on corn
- Aerial application isn’t precise, and that shows
- Tar spot dust — there are no toxins in the dust, per se, but physical dust is still an issue. Farmer’s lung is a real thing. Be safe
- Early wheat yellowing, what’s wrong? Fungicide is not for the fall
- In the autumn, some fields look tough, but yield is made in the spring remember
- Hey, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Park the tractor!
