Agri-Trend Agrology would like to extend a very big thank you to all who helped make our Summer Training and PMP Diagnostics Day such a great success. 

To the Agri-Coaches and their clients: Larry Penner and the Spring Valley Colony; Kelvin Jarvis and Darrell Carlisle; Ron Curtis/ Phil Parker and Wayne Husak as well as the Riverside Colony. Thank you for allowing us to learn from your fields and for digging holes in perfectly good fields to allow those soils-types to get down and dirty.

To the Senior Agri-Coaches for imparting your knowledge and being so passionate about your field of expertise.

To our guest speakers Greg Patterson, Marlene Boersch, Dr. Cakmak, Dr.Romheld and Dr. Huber for making us think.

To the PMP boys- Warren Bills, Terry Aberhart, Justin Cleaver, Dennis Vermette for helping us understand how technology can help us give better recommendations agronomically. To the sponsors of the PMP Diagnostics Day- the Mazer Group, Northstar/ Enns Brothers, Millar Farm Equipment and Equipment Supplies, Dan Aberhart from Northstar and Greg Lewis from Crop Cam as well as the welcoming speakers- Pam Hegelman from the Mazer Group and Dan Hacault and Lindsay Coulthart from the Manitoba Zero-Till Research Association.

To Jarrett Chambers, Randy Saskiw, Danielle Reid and the rest of the OMEXians for taking us through their trials (on Springhill Colony land).

To the Springhill Colony for being such gracious hosts and treating us to a fabulous Fijian BBQ, our compliments to the chef(s).

To Taurus and A& L Laboratories who did a tremendous job in ending the Tissue Testing Challenge with a tremendous bang in "Who wants to be an Agri-Coach Extraordinaire". Great fun and surprising outcome!

To the ladies in the office who helped it all come together- Tanya, Louise, Delores, Sara and Shelley. Brad Campbell and Caitlin Sauro, our Aussie Scouts, for all the last minute running around gathering supplies and photocopying.

And a BIG THANKS to everyone who attended!

Looking forward to bigger and better things next year in Strathmore, Alberta. See you there!
