As soybeans break out of the Red River Valley, Westman looks to become a logical choice for any future crushing plant.

Westman group exploring feasibility of soybean-crushing plant

Westman Opportunities Leadership Group chair Ray Redfern says with soybean production expanding and perhaps hog production too, a plant in western Manitoba could make sense

By Allan Dawson January 12, 2017

A group of community leaders is studying the feasibility of building a 5,000-tonne-per-day soybean-crushing plant in western Manitoba. The newly created Westman Opportunities Leadership Group (WOLG) is a volunteer group whose membership includes business, farm and civic leaders from the region. “Most of the (soybean) growth from here on in will certainly be in Westman,”

They are tiny world travellers and Manitoba’s Red River Valley could be  the next stop on the soybean cyst nematode’s global tour

In the middle of the Ian N. Morrison research farm near Carman, an unlikely scene is unfolding as farmers and agronomists crowd around what looks like an old jam jar. “Careful, we don’t want this to break,” Mario Tenuta stresses, with a bit of a chuckle. But what’s inside the tightly sealed jar is no

Spaces went fast for this year’s Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers SMART Day

Wagons were filled to capacity and then some at the Ian N. Morrison research farm near Carman late last month, as the Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers held its annual SMART Day for soybean producers and agronomists. “Programs like this are hugely beneficial, especially for guys like myself, who are just realizing that I know

Less nitrogen equals less volunteer canola

Tighter row spacing may put the squeeze on late-emerging or slow-growing weeds, but not so for volunteer canola

By Shannon VanRaes August 4, 2015

Looking to reduce volunteer canola in your soybeans? Hold off on that extra nitrogen, or better yet, find a field that’s been depleted. Standing amid research plots at the Ian N. Morrison Research Farm near Carman, University of Manitoba PhD student Charles Geddes explained some of the work being done to combat volunteer canola during

Study concludes Manitoba soybean-crushing plant viable

But that’s partly because of market distortions caused by poor rail service and lacking competition

By Allan Dawson May 20, 2015

Poor rail service and a lack of competition contribute to the viability of a 2,000-tonne-per-day soybean-crushing plant in Manitoba, a study prepared for the Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers (MPSG) and Soy 20/20 says. “Indeed, the numbers tell us that if adequate and regular rail service existed in Manitoba then both a Canadian and/or a

Pulse Growers adds soybean to name

There is still more research to be done on soybeans at the regional level

By Shannon VanRaes March 4, 2015

What’s in a name? A lot. To that end, the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association will now be known as the Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers. “Since soybeans are not a true pulse, we figured this was a good way to go,” said executive director Francois Labelle as he announced the change at CropConnect in Winnipeg
