Feb. 26, 2026

As winter loosens its grip and longer days return, spring signals a fresh start across rural Ontario. At Talbot Elevators, this is an important time of year — when planning turns into action and the groundwork for a successful season is laid. From feed programs and grain marketing to seed selection and support, gearing up for spring means making sure every part of your operation is ready to perform.

Here’s how we’re preparing — and how we can help you do the same.

🌱 Seed: Planting the Foundation for Success

Seed will soon be in stock! Whether you pre-ordered or are looking to buy in season we are here to help. Stay tuned for pick up and/or delivery timing. 

• Corn

• Soybeans

• Forages

• Cover Crops

🌾 Grain: Marketing with a Plan

While attention shifts to planting, grain marketing remains a key part of spring planning. Volatility in commodity markets can present both risks and opportunities, and having a proactive strategy matters.

Talbot Elevators supports producers with:

• Forward contracting options

• Basis contracts

• Storage solutions

• Market insight and pricing tools
  
  

Spring is an excellent time to:

• Consider pricing opportunities during seasonal rallies

• Begin developing a new crop marketing plan

We’re here to help you make informed, confident marketing decisions.

🐄 Feed: Fueling Performance for the Season Ahead

As livestock operations transition through seasonal changes, nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining herd health and performance.

Spring considerations often include:

• Adjusting rations as forage inventories change

• Managing variable feed quality

• Supporting animals through temperature fluctuations

• Preparing for pasture turnout

Whether you’re evaluating forage tests, refining mineral programs, or planning ahead for silage season, Talbot Elevators is ready to support your operation with both products and expertise.

Looking Ahead

Spring represents opportunity. It’s a season built on optimism, hard work, and careful planning. At Talbot Elevators, we’re proud to partner with farm families across our region — not just as a supplier, but as a trusted advisor invested in your long-term success.

If you’re finalizing seed decisions, reviewing grain contracts, or evaluating feed programs, now is the time to connect with our team.

Let’s make this spring one of strong starts and strong finishes.

From all of us at Talbot Elevators — here’s to a safe, productive, and successful season ahead. 🌾

Late Summer Checklist: Feed Planning & Scouting Tips for Corn and Soybeans

As we move through August, livestock producers and grain growers alike are deep into planning mode. At Talbot Elevators, we work with farmers who rely on us not only for grain handling but for the health of their herds and crops. Whether you’re scouting soybeans or topping up your feed bins, here’s what we recommend keeping an eye on this month.

1. Test Your Forage Quality & Monitor Yields

Work with your Nutrition Consultant to Customize your Diets based on those Forage Samples.

Tip: Our mill has a number of general diets we can provide  you with, if needed we are able to customize as well. Custom rations or bulk ordering? Give us a call to schedule ahead — it’s never too early.

2. Watch for Soybean Disease Pressure

Soybeans are in critical stages right now. Look for signs of:

• White mould in dense canopies

• Septoria brown spot on lower leaves

• Sudden Death Syndrome or root rot in wet patches

Scout early in the day when dew helps highlight foliar symptoms. Keeping tabs now can help with fungicide decisions and long-term management.

3. Corn Ear and Root Check

Walk your corn fields and do the "pinch and dig":

• Pinch stalks to check strength and look for early lodging

• Dig up roots and check for compaction, rot, or insect damage

• Pull a few ears from random spots and check kernel development

Pro tip: Now is also the time to assess hybrid performance and consider what worked (and what didn’t) for next year.

4. Think About Fall Feed Conversion

As temperatures start to dip and forage quality shifts, feed conversion efficiency can change — especially in finishing livestock. Ask us about ration tweaks to maximize gain as you head into the cooler months.

We carry a full range of livestock feeds and supplements, and we’re happy to help you match product to performance goals.

5. Keep Us in the Loop

At Talbot Elevators, we’re more than just a grain elevator. We’re your year-round partner in planning, production, and performance. If you’re dealing with crop quality concerns, looking to book feed, or need support with grain marketing, our team is here to help.
