Wheat Pete's Word, July 10: Wonderful wheat, straw, Beryl's tar spot gift, and ryegrass frustration

Plenty of combines were rolling earlier this week before the wall of water that is the remnant of hurricane Beryl hit Ontario. Not only did this weather system bring sheets of water, but it may also have brought more tar spot spores from the south.

Tar spot has already been found in Ontario, says Peter "Wheat Pete" Johnson in this episode of Wheat Pete's Word, however big systems like this one are likely to move things further north and east, movement that was already happening with tar spot possibly being found north of London, Ont.

There are agronomy answers to offer this week too, including the price of straw, the quality of the wheat crop, and what the heck is going on with yellow beans (hint: it's probably not what you think). Oh, and why ryegrass should not be in your cover crop, for the love of Pete!

Have a question you’d like Wheat Pete to address or some field results to send in? Agree/disagree with something he’s said? Leave him a message at 1-888-746-3311, send him a tweet (@wheatpete), or email him at [email protected].
