There are plenty of decisions to make ahead of seeding and planting, and sometimes those decisions revolve around what goes down with the seed.
For this week’s episode of Wheat Pete’s Word, Peter Johnson talks boron for canola, AMS vs. gypsum, and starter-fertilizer decisions with dry soil and seedbed utilization in mind. Also in this episode: why zero isn’t always possible when it comes to pesticide residue, and a reminder to check those bins!

Summary
- Chin up! Winter will end. Eventually
- 9 days until meterological spring
- Win a truck! If you’re in Nova Scotia
- Use the assumption that every marketing decision is wrong. For your peace of mind
- Make the best decision you can
- Check your bins! Snow gets into the vents
- Quebec is blocking funds from buying land
- That will impact
- Green Lightning — N from water?
- Colin Elgie tested the water
- 14 ppm vs 10 ppm
- Manage for bare ground in tram-lined fields
- Seedbed utilization and seed safety. How much fertilizer is safe?
- Spring wheat
- Dual action stabilizer on N doesn’t make sense. Urease inhibitor is likely all you need
- Wheat standability, yield potential, and split-app N (post-anthesis?)
- Boron on canola — with the seed or foliar? If you can keep seed safe, in-furrow is preferred
- AMS vs gypsum for soybeans. Calcium considerations
- Glyphosate, water and risk vs. hazard
- How many more humans are we feeding on less land?
