Swath grazing cereals saves half of overwintering costs in beef cattle

With new higher-yielding, higher-quality forage cereals in the works,  there has never been a better time for beef cattle producers to try swath grazing cereals

By Jennifer Blair August 22, 2014

Swath grazing cereals could save producers almost half the cost of overwintering cattle, says a federal forage researcher. “Extended grazing practices like swath grazing, bale grazing, and grazing second-cut grasses in the fall are one of the most effective ways to reduce your overwintering costs of beef cows,” Vern Baron said at the Lacombe Field

Cereal research programs set back a season from summer flooding

2014’s flooding is the latest along in the growing season  anyone can remember, say BRC staff

By Lorraine Stevenson August 12, 2014

Flood waters that lapped close to the doorsteps of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Brandon Research Centre last month also submerged the plot sites of cereal research programs, and that means no data for researchers this year. All three programs have been set back a season due to data lost after their plots were inundated by

Oats at a slower pace

Good food should be an excuse to slow down, say made-in-Manitoba cereal makers

By Lorraine Stevenson July 21, 2014

Some think boiling water for porridge takes too much time. The Nikkel household grows the oats and rolls them in their own mill first.

Will it be millet?

It’s time for the Great Manitoba Food Fight and St. Claude’s Millet King  is among 10 contestants hoping for a taste of victory

By Lorraine Stevenson April 24, 2014

It’s technically a seed, but categorized as a grain because it’s one of the world’s most commonly cooked and eaten staples. Yet North Americans have either never heard of millet, or know it as livestock feed or birdseed. Gluten-free, nutritious millet has a fighting chance to gain popularity with health-conscious consumers too, says a Manitoba

Winter wheat backlog threatens fall demand

Jake Davidson fears last fall’s unprecedented early demand might not be repeated  if a large volume of winter wheat is carried over

By Allan Dawson March 24, 2014

For the second year in a row, winter wheat is projected to be one of the most profitable crops in Manitoba. But it won’t be as attractive this fall if last year’s crop doesn’t move soon, says Jake Davidson, executive manager of Winter Cereals Manitoba. “My biggest concern is with the slow movement this year,”

By Jennifer Blair March 19, 2014

The national body for canola producers says it will press major grain buyers to address grower concerns with marketing contracts. “If grain companies are hearing it from (producers) as well as the association, hopefully they can start to make a change in this area that really frustrates farmers,” said Cheryl Mayer, director of policy development

They can deliver to ADM in the U.S. for a premium

By Allan Dawson November 27, 2013

A less glamorous — but more effective — approach to feeding the world

By Digvir S. Jayas November 27, 2013

Annually over 2.6 billion tonnes of grains — cereals, oilseeds and pulses — are grown and then stored along the chain from producers to consumers. Most countries do not systematically report how much grain becomes unfit for human consumption during storage, but anecdotal reports suggest it’s worryingly high. In poorly managed storage systems, such as
