We’ve seen more spring cereal lodging in parts of Manitoba this year. If you are looking to learn more about the causes and management of spring cereal lodging, check out these MCA articles. @mb_cropalliance mbcropalliance.ca/directory/… mbcropalliance.ca/directory/…
Lodging in Spring Cereals

Lodging in Spring Cereals

Lodging can have a significant impact on yield, and almost always has a negative impact on grain quality. In addition, lodging can create challenges when harvest time rolls around. [caption id="att...

For those following along, I forgot to update progress up to 48 hrs. Day 1 had beautiful mid-20’s temp with cloud cover. Day 2 was hot (hot) and sunny!

Last stop is weeds! For many herbicide applications, using higher water volumes helps to penetrate dense crop canopies, and allow you to use a coarser spray, which reduces the risk of spray drift. The blue dots on these plates show what that water volume difference looks like!

We’re talking insects! Did you know there are different kinds of thresholds? Nominal thresholds are based on experience & observations from experts. Many of our insect thresholds are nominal! True economic thresholds are based on scientific research. (+Bonus true armyworm pics!)

Second station of the day is diseases with @MCA_MorganCott! End of May to end of June is the right time to look for seedling diseases in corn, especially when soils are cool and wet. But keep in mind, injury caused by environment and insects can be confused with seedling disease!

First up is soils: It’s crucial to think about soil health in context. No two soils behave the same! Healthy soils with lots of microbial activity can break down cotton underwear fast, but this demo shows that other factors influence microbial activity too! teapaw.org/AshAmmeter/status/2073…

Thank you MP @GrantJacksonMP for meeting with GGC directors to discuss priorities impacting grain farmers. Strong trade access and dependable transportation systems remain essential for Prairie producers. #GrainsWeek #cdnag #cdnpoli #25YearsGGC

Appreciated MP @RichardBragdon for meeting with GGC members during #GrainsWeek. We had a strong discussion on the importance of strengthening rural economic development through reliable supply chains, competitive markets, and strong trade access for Canada’s grain sector. #cdnag
