The new AgConnexion | Grain Portal Toolbox gives farmers quick access to market trends and prices.

In the Grain Information Toolbox, you’ll find the "Market zone and prices that are associated with the farm" and "Flash Marché". These two tools help grain farmers make decisions and facilitate contact with Sollio & Grains Québec’s regional grain merchants.

World First Aid Day is the perfect opportunity to highlight the everyday contribution of first aid teams. They are – literally – vital in ensuring that all Sollio Agriculture employees feel safe. Sometimes, they even save lives.
 

This story about Sylvain Villeneuve is a prime example. In January 2023, the forklift operator trainer at the Sollio Agriculture distribution centre in Longueuil started feeling abdominal and chest pains during his afternoon break.

Heavy and frequent rains come with a fair share of problems for hay farmers and horse owners. With harvests delayed week after week and limited drying time, forage can become less nutritious and less healthful. Below, you’ll find some tips and possible solutions for dealing with this issue.

Genetic engineering has made it possible to introduce different technologies into soybean cultivars to manage complex weed control situations.
 

In our era of sustainable agriculture and climate change, the increase in areas under direct seeding and reduced tillage with dethatchers has led to some weeds becoming more established in the field.

Cash flow on a dairy farm is affected by a number of factors.

Using cover crops is a key part of caring for two vital resources—the soil and the environment. Selecting the best cover crops and successfully integrating them into your rotation requires setting an objective and developing a sound plan.

Although little known and underestimated, fertilizing residual materials (FRMs) are a cost-saving solution for farmers.

“There’s an FRM for every need, from fertilizing to adding organic matter and correcting pH,” says Simon Naylor, Vice-President and Co-Founder of Viridis environnement. Viridis has a 70% share of the FRM recovery market and delivers 600,000 tonnes of organic matter to 700 farm businesses each year.

Ten years after they were first introduced on a large scale in onion fields in Montérégie, sterilized pink onion flies have successfully replaced a controversial insecticide, while generating a dramatic reduction in the natural populations of onion maggots (Delia antiqua), the main onion pest in Canada.

The sterile insect technique (SIT) works in a surprisingly simple and ingenious way. It essentially uses one pest to combat another. To do so, onion flies that are factory reared and sterilized through irradiation ahead of time are released into fields.

The AgConnexion digital agriculture platform is constantly evolving. Several new features are now available to make farmers and retailers even more efficient in farm management.
