As promised, here are some of my favorite Non-OMAFRA agronomy related websites.
www.pioneer.com
or for your smart phone:
https://www.pioneer.com/home/site/mobile/
This site is all things Pioneer. Tabs include: Products, Agronomy, Livestock Feed and Nutrition, Programs and Services, Markets and Analysis, and News. You can find your local Pioneer Rep, calculate your CHU to date, and access local field trials. There is also very good market information and crop reports available. The mobile site is pared down for easy reading on your smart phone. If you have a Black Berry, Pioneer also offers a free ap for you to download.
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/
For those addicted to the weather like me, this site is a necessity. Forecasts are broke down into hourly, 24 hour, 7 or 14 day. This site also offers a larger list of Ontario locations than Environment Canada. There is a mobile version available as well.
http://www.intellicast.com/National/Radar/Current.aspx
Another weather site, this site offers American radar with coverage into southwestern Ontario. Forecasted surface analysis is also available out to 48 hours. With the "pan and zoom" feature you can get very accurate detailed radar for your area. Precipitation shows as snow, mixed or rain.

I am sure that most of you have this site bookmarked but I thought that I would include it for those that don't. Environment Canada's Exeter radar page is a must have tool for those in the area. Just be careful, depending on what the radar is set on - rain or snow, it can be a little distorted. If it is raining and the radar is set on snow, you could be thinking it is monsoon season!
www.refugeselector.ca
As we hear more and more about Corn Root Worm developing resistance in the US Midwest, we need to continue to be diligent about our refuge requirements when planting BT corn. The refuge selector is a great tool to let you know how much is needed, where it needs to go in the field, and what varieties of refuge are available to compliment your BT pick.

...because there is always a video to cheer you up and make you laugh when it is raining at harvest or the market went down...
