Spraying the GMO side of our competition field. Head 2 head GMO vs NonGMO to see which side yields the best, but more importantly, which side will be the most PROFITABLE after expenses. Every kernel weighed thru a weigh wagon. Give me your thoughts- which do you predict will win?

Fabian Seed Farms Inc. made a game-changing switch: from synthetics to biologicals. The result? More vigorous potato seed emergence, healthier soil, and happier customers. 🌱🥔 #BiologicalFarming #Potatoes #SoilHealth #EcoTea #Insiders #Overton hubs.li/Q03q5qYY0

The biological mysteries beneath our feet are concentrated around plant roots in the fast moving world of the rhizosphere.  This thin layer of activity is the place that can make or break a harvest. While it's easy to supply the chemical components based on soil analysis, the

Time to feed the kids. Lots of mouths to feed out here. Giving our corn a foliar nutrition cocktail ahead of a rain event we are supposed to get this weekend. (Yeah I know...I'll belive it when I see it!) #spoonfeeding #foliarefficiency #highbrow #planthealth #nutrientdensified

What to do if you got hail on your crops? Wondering if the crop can be revived or if it's too late? Here is an excellent article written by Dr. Abdel El Hadrami OMEX Canada on the topic... fabianseed.com/hail-recovery-…

Solubilized another batch of urea today. Take a look at the condensation from the resulting endothermic reaction. (Very cold). You can see the level on the tank. Ever use one of those emergency cold packs where you pop the water into the granules? This is it on a massive scale!

Solubilizing urea tip: Beware of ESN contamination. When you are sourcing your urea for solubilizing, make sure you find a source that does not have crap like ESN in it. Apparently plastic (ESN) floats! Filters are your friends. (& 2thinkwe're putting this plastic in our fields)

Nutrition pass on our Fdn AAC Delight to keep the health of the crop at optimum, and to nutrient densify the seed. Refractometer reading was from 5 days ago. Kind of a mid-term report card so-to-speak. You can see our Fdn Esma barley in the background. That's next.

And here we are on the other side now, applying nutrition to the Esma barley prior to heading. The intent once again Is to keep the Brix levels high so we don't need insecticides or fungicides, while Nutrient Densifying the seed to be harvested. Refractometer pic was 5 days ago

This is our first time growing durum in over a decade. We are quite happy with what we see so far! (Mid-term report cards!) This field has some real potential to produce some great seed! #nutrientdensifying #plantnutrition #Brix #highBrixlevels

Grasshopper alert! Andrew was doing Brix tests on our new variety of WestKing HRSW. He's documented it all in the video. Instead of spraying an insecticide, we are choosing to use nutrition to elevate the Brix level to 17. Stay tuned as he says at the end of this video.
