August 26 to September 6
This year the Great Lakes Grain 2019 Crop Assessment Tour has Ontario FS Co-operative members from AGRIS Co-operative, Embrun Co-operative, FS PARTNERS, Huron Bay Co-operative, Lucknow Co-operative, North Wellington Co-operative, Sunderland Co-operative and Wanstead Farmers Co-operative participating.
2019 is shaping up to be one of the most variable years we have seen in a long time. Inconsistent weather patterns have caused planting delays, crop emergence issues, compaction problems and a host of other pests. Other areas have the best crop they have ever seen. Understanding the crop size , helping growers plan for harvest and what they may do different in 2020 are the opportunities for our tour!
Our staff from Great Lakes Grain and participating FS Co-operatives will be conducting yield checks and agronomic evaluations in corn and soybean fields. These results will provide market intelligence for the benefit of our co-operative farmer owners. Continue to watch here for more updates and follow us on Twitter at #glgtour19.
