Travis Kelce farms on the side right!?? 😂 either way, Taylor Swift knows where it’s at!!

Last day of AgDays! Don’t miss out on our SPROMO today! (Special promo) #spromo #agdays2024

That’s a wrap on Day 2!! Come find us tomorrow! One more day to get in a visit and talk about our Ag Days Special!

Kicking off my show biz career with a CTV Live interview this morning! The segment aired at 7:42 am and can be found on their website. I’ll post the link when I find it! Otherwise rested, caffeinated thanks to our neighbours at the FBN booth, and all smiles - ready for another fun day at #agdays !!

Had a blast on Day 1!! Talked to lots of great people, so many familiar faces!! Looking forward to Day 2!

"Our whole farm has been mapped with SWAT MAPS. Our soil and available water changes in short distances on our land and the mapping system delivers the high definition maps representing the fields. It is critical that VR providers and equipment manufacturers work together to be able to map the fields accurately and then apply that prescription with accuracy." — Colin Rosengren, Rosengren Farms A1 Agronomy's SWAT MAPS truck is ready to work on your farm today: (306) 339-8364 At A1 Agronomy, we focus on soil sampling, crop planning, in-season field scouting and VR mapping.

Three Farms, One goal. 🚜 🤍 To show our appreciation, and connect. We work closely with our customers. In fact, we like to think of ourselves as part of the family too. Fall is a busy time of year for everyone, but especially producers; back to school, trying to get harvest wrapped up... we wanted to take the load off, even if it's just in a small way, for just one night by delivering a meal to the field. 🍕 We have seen such a positive impact of connecting with our customers in this way. Getting to sit down, take a load off, talk about struggles/successes of this year, see how families have grown, and really just have some 1 on 1 before it's back into the cab to finish the day while the sun sets. Thank you to Chicken Chef Melita for providing some delicious food for us to take with us. (It never disappoints!) We wish we could do this for each and every one of our customers, because frankly, you all deserve it; But we hope to make this a yearly tradition to say thank-you.

Fields can often under produce without obvious signs as to why. Each nutrient behaves differently within plants and soils and it becomes critical to understand where they might be lacking in order to properly manage them; which is one reason why soil sampling, and doing it consistently, is so important. Phosphorus, for example, is extremely chemically reactive and is an important nutrient element limiting crop production in many places after nitrogen. Higher phosphate levels often remain in under producing areas and don't get utilized — so why keep applying more? If you have all the information, often we can continue to produce at the same rate or better while saving money by decreasing an unnecessary input. Call us to learn more: (306) 339-8364

Why Variable Rate? Why Now? 🤔 Farmers are realizing that an effective variable rate program like SWAT MAPS is very important, especially now. Here are five reasons why: 1) Optimize the Use of Inputs - Variable rate technology enables precise management of expensive resources such as fertilizers, pesticides, and even irrigation water. 2) Evenness of Crop Maturity - Variable rate seed and fertilizer will promote even crop staging and maturity 3) Enhanced Crop Productivity - When using a fixed rate application of inputs, farmers are forced to use field average rates. Alternatively, farmers using variable rate technology can provide the right amount of nutrients, and other inputs, to each part of the field, therefore resulting in improved productivity and profitability for farmers. 4) Site-Specific Management - Target problem areas with deficiencies in micronutrients 5) Environmental Sustainability - By precisely targeting inputs, it reduces the potential for over-application. Additionally, it can even promote responsible water management by optimizing irrigation practices, reducing water usage, and minimizing soil erosion. www.a1agronomy.ca #variablerate #SWATMAPS #SWATMAPSserviceprovider #crops #inputs #agriculture #agtech

#TBT to this Fall foliage we snapped last year! 🍂 Although harvest has already begun in most areas, we're not rushing Fall by any means and are still enjoying the heat and the sunshine! But that doesn't mean that we're not a LITTLE BIT 🤏 excited to see more beautiful Fall colours.

TA DA! ✋ Checking crops is like a real life game of "I SPY" sometimes. 🔎 It's not just walking into the field and taking a look around. It's shaking the plant, inspecting the crop canopy, checking pods, and going right to the soil surface to sift through plant debris to thoroughly get an idea of what is happening in any given crop!

We're still trying to recover from all the fun we had at Banana Days this past weekend in Melita! 🍌 A1 Agronomy brought our @swatmaps truck to the 'Touch-a-Truck' event on Friday evening of the festival. While it wasn't the biggest machine there (see photo #2 😂), We still had lots of folks come up and ask about the truck and what it does. To be honest, we're also proud that we got it this clean! 🧽 @sunnythebanana #bananadays #touchatruck #SWATMAPS #community #MelitaMB #BananaDays23 #agriculture

Staging is an important aspect of determining when it's time to harvest and for pest control. 🌾 🐛 In wheat, we always recommend grabbing a crown. Pinch it. Squish it. Play with it! The crop will probably vary some right from the early stages where it feels milky or doughy, to nearly ready to harvest when it feels firm and you can barely put a dent it it with your fingernails. When scouting, we always check for aphids too in relation to crop staging. Many farmers are alarmed when aphids are found in abundance. However, if aphids are found in the later stages, they are likely to be no longer problematic! That's where The A1 Agronomy team comes in, to help you make good decisions that will have positive impact. www.a1agronomy.ca

Ah... the infamous RONA buckets! We love our local RONA 💙 and these babies have been life savers for us over the years. Before we upgraded our sampling trucks, these pails were crucial to collecting and sorting soil samples. Now, we use them for pretty much EVERYTHING else. Storage, shopping baskets, draw pails, you name it! 🤣

This weekend is 🍌 Banana Days 🍌 here in Melita and we're proud to be a Silver sponsor for this year's event. Looking forward to a banana split with Sunny and Breezy among all of the other fun activities planned throughout the weekend! 🥳 #bananadays #melitamb #exploremb

We offer so much more than agronomic advice. 🗨️ A1 Agronomy offers guidance, reassurance and experience working with multiple farms.

It's not often that those of us in the Ag Industry this time of year resonate with the term "long weekend". 😂 However, we're always keen to make the best of working for the weekend with beautiful sunsets, great weather 🤞 and some extra cute helpers! 🤍

If you see me heavy breathing.... no you didn't. 🌞 🌱 #agronomymemes #agronomistlife #summer #farming #farmmb #farmsk

Because varying seeding rate keeps varying topography in mind. 🌱 We already know that crop emergence and plant establishment will be different in different areas of the field. The SWAT MAPS technology we use is able to map out a number of zones in field, correlated to water and how it moves through the field, but also differences in soil textures. Both of which can affect growth and survivability. At the end of the day, we believe there is no "one size fits all" approach. There are differences in every field, crop and even variety!

Anita has been out scouting for insects recently and has been CRAWLING with Green Lacewings. Green Lacewings are beneficial insects that will eat approximately 1000 aphids a day. It's a great reminder that not all crop insects are bad! Don't worry, she said she'll try to shake out all of the Green Lacewings back in the field before she gets into the truck! 😉 #aphids #crops #cropinsects #insects #scouting #pests

Have you ever met an agronomist who can't keep house plants alive? I think we'll stick to our day jobs. 😉

Often fields are under producing with no obvious signs as to why. Each nutrient behaves differently in plants and soils and it becomes critical to understand where they might be lacking in order to properly manage them. When we are able to delineate different areas of the field, there is a lot to learn about current crop response. Composite soil samples will give you an average of all areas while SWAT MAPS can break out soil- based management zones and help to understand and enhance your field management.

This weekend is the annual Manitoba Threshermen's Reunion and Stampede at the @mbagmuseum in Austin, MB! We know a few locals who attend every year. Are you and your family taking in the festivities this year? #MTRS23

Nic discovered a Bertha Armyworm out in a Canola field the other day. 🐛 While we are beginning to see some in Canola, don't worry just yet. It's not a big enough threat to warrant spraying right now. Larvae are the only developmental stage of the Bertha armyworm to cause crop damage. They feed on a variety of crops and weeds such as canola, rapeseed, mustard, alfalfa, and sometimes even flax, peas and potatoes. #pests #cropsmb #canola #spraying

Sometimes it can be tricky to identify what is a weed, even for the most seasoned vets! It can be helpful to get out the trowel and pull the plant up, including the seed, to help with plant identification. #ToWeedorNotToWeed #weeds #plantidentification #agronomy

Proper seeding or planting rates can set the standard for a whole growing season. The objectives of SWAT MAPS variable rate fertilizer applications are straightforward: match fertilizer rates with soil and water potential according to landscape position and zones. 🗺️ Variable rate seeding or planting strategies are a little more complicated however, but the same principles of varying rates according to zone can be applied. 🌱 Just another way SWAT MAPS benefits producers! www.a1agronomy.ca

If this is the case, we better be careful which plants we gossip about in the field! 🤫 🥔 🌽 #agmeme #cropjokes

The "SWAT BOX" is an essential tool to our process, as it collects the necessary data to create detailed zone maps. Unlike traditional EC sleds that are dragged on the soil, The SWAT BOX is mounted just above the soil. No contact with the ground means less maintenance. The data then automatically uploads to SWAT RECORDS where you can view the newly found data with ease from your phone, tablet or computer. #SWATMAPS #A1Agronomy

This week, we had the pleasure of attending the 2023 Crop Diagnostic School. We'll be honest, we're so engaged -listening and learning, that we forget to take photos at events like this. We'll do better next year, promise! 🤝 But we just wanted to send a quick thank you to the organizers of this annual event. It's always great to connect with fellow agronomists and producers and we appreciate all of the knowledge sharing going on! 📷: Manitoba Agriculture
