While it may seem early to start thinking about the 2026 growing season, this time of year can actually offer the best indication of some of the things you may want to change, particularly when it comes to planter and seeder mechanics. Whether it is seeding depth, fertilizer targeting, stand counts, or a range of other issues, Andrew finds out what growers should be scouting for with a goal of making sure the crop gets the best potential start every year. Helping find those answers are Ben Rosser, corn specialist for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness; Jenna Gregoire, Pioneer Area Agronomist in Northwest and Central West Saskatchewan along with Holly Loucas, Pioneer Area Agronomist in the Southern Ontario region of Norfolk to Niagara.
