Editor’s Column: Get in the van, man

It’s just a blood test. Really!

By Leeann Minogue September 11, 2019

We’ve all seen the “Man Van” at farm shows. I’m not sure what I thought was going on in there, but it turns out there are a crew of volunteers taking simple, five-second blood samples to find out if you (or the man next to you) have prostate cancer. I saw this up close at […] Read more

And sow it begins… It is a pretty quiet and barren landscape as Justin Krieger, market development representative with Bayer/Monsanto, based in Saskatoon works on seeding plots at the Ag in Motion farm show site in mid-May. He and summer assistants will be seeding peas, wheat, barley, corn, canola and soybeans to demonstrate not only crop diversity but the performance of crop protection products.
