What’s the story on sulphur?
We’re glad you asked! This week’s episode of Wheat Pete’s Word tackles several agronomic questions regarding winter crop green-up, farm safety, going to the theatre, and insects overwintering. Plus, as promised, there’s plenty to cover on sulphur applications: when, how, where, and most importantly, what form, and there’s a caution for those adding S in the seed row — watch out! It’s salty.

Summary
- It’s spring and grain moving season for some. Do NOT go in alone and never ever with a bin being emptied
- Do a check on those vehicles! Lights, SMV signs, and more
- March Classic was this week. Volatility to continue…for so long yet. Four more years?
- More stress, that’s for sure. Use your Wheat Pete’s 15
- Use sell orders to manage some marketing risk. Peace of mind is valuable
- Say Hello when you see Wheat Pete in the wild
- Insect mortality and cold winter temps is not always a one-to-one
- Colder further south and that impacts the timing of hitting Canada
- Erosion of ground cover vs. plowed
- Some areas of Ontario have had a nice melt. Ottawa Valley was not that. Ouch
- Moisture conditions going into spring aren’t all good, that’s for sure. Some areas are very dry lower down
- Is the wheat ready to roll? Breaking dormancy is about re-growth (roots) not top green leaves
- Beware the snow mould risk
- N needs based on fall-seeded crop: triticale, barley, rye, etc. are different
- What’s the sulphur story? Elemental vs sulphate dynamics
- N credits on peas?
- Clover credits and single-cut vs double-cut choices
