Spider mite season is upon us: no appreciable rain for the past month, constant 28C+ means a lot of stress, and the mites are looking for sugars. #Agriculture

Making fried rice with home made Chinese BBQ pork is a wonderful thing.

Waterhemp samples are back from Field 1: 100% resistant to Grp14, 30% to Grp9, 70% to Grp2; 100% susceptible to Grp5 at least. Field 2 samples go to the lab tomorrow. The fields are 25km apart, with no obvious connection. Will be interesting! #OntAg
