Report from eastern Ontario.
More acres; more paperwork in western Ontario.
That didn’t include the half-day course required to use neonics or the actual scouting for pests, which added several weeks and many hours completing the digging of the government-required five holes for every 100 acres — that’s 800 holes over the 4,000 acres on the Reynold's farm — to set bait for wireworms and grubs.
It's all unpaid work for farmers.
