Manitoba Crop Report and Crop Weather report: No. 14

Conditions as of August 2, 2016

By Manitoba Agriculture August 3, 2016

Winter wheat and fall rye harvest is underway in Manitoba. To date, preliminary reports indicate winter wheat yields range from 60 to 95 bu/acre, and fall rye yields range from 40 to 90 bu/acre. Weekend thunderstorms resulted in variable amounts of precipitation, hail activity and lodging of crops across some areas of Manitoba. The majority

North American farmers top up rye plantings as whiskey sales soar

By GFM Network News, Rod Nickel July 27, 2016

Winnipeg / Reuters – North American farmers are turning back to a neglected crop, sowing fields with the largest rye crop in years partly as consumers satisfy a growing thirst for whiskey. Rye, planted in autumn and harvested in mid-summer, fell out of favour during the past decade as other crops produced bigger profits. But whiskey

The Prairie Recommending Committee for Wheat, Rye and Triticale met in Saskatoon last week to decide which new cultivars should be recommended for registration. There were 27 cultivars under consideration — 26 wheats intended for various classes and one fall rye.

Rye prices seen high, but stable

By GFM Network News, Jade Markus July 16, 2015

CNS Canada –– Rye crops have been reacting to Saskatchewan’s heat and dryness by developing faster than they would normally be — but healthy crops elsewhere appear to be helping to keep global prices stable, at least for the time being. U.S. crops may stop rye prices from moving too turbulently, at least until Canada’s

Faller, Prosper recommended for interim registration

The endorsement signals new flexibility in the registration system as  neither fits any of Western Canada’s current wheat classes

By Allan Dawson March 5, 2015

Faller and sister variety Prosper, both high-yielding American Dark Northern Spring wheats, have been recommended for a three-year interim registration, marking a seismic shift in Western Canada’s wheat registration system. Faller has been grown under identify preserved (IP) contracts in Manitoba for two years. The Prairie Recommending Committee for Wheat, Rye and Triticale, a panel

There's no silver bullet for combating ergot, but mowing grasses near fields and good agronomics can make a big difference

Ergot is a rising threat on the Prairies, and plant researchers are trying to figure out the best way to combat the disease. “Everyone is concerned with fusarium head blight, but ergot is right up there in terms of danger,” said Jamie Larsen, a research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Lethbridge.

It’s a highly nutritious and long-season forage, but can kale handle winter?

By Jennifer Blair November 6, 2013

A kale-ryegrass combination offers grazers extended grazing  opportunities in the fall and a summertime forage option, too

Grazers growing kale for forage will soon see how the crop handles an Alberta winter. “It’s supposed to handle the cold really well and still stand. We got -10 here the other day and heavy frost, and she’s still going,” said Crossfield-area grazer Graeme Finn at the recent Foothills Forage and Grazing Association crop tour.

Wild oats are Canada’s biggest weed problem — and researchers at the Field Crop Development Centre hope winter wheat can become a big part of the solution. Alternative methods for controlling wild oats are becoming increasingly important, said Neil Harker, an Alberta Agriculture weed scientist who is leading the research in this area. “A lot

Ergot A Serious Problem In Feed This Year

An Alber ta forage specialist is warning livestock feeders to be on the lookout for ergot in this year’s grain crop because of cool, damp weather. “Airborne ergot spores from previous crops infected the developing heads. This year, there’s a problem with not only rye, but triticale, wheat, barley, oats and even some of the
