Pressure rising again on feed supply as first cut falls short

Recent rains came too late to boost growth

By Alexis Stockford July 19, 2019

Hay shortages still have a chokehold on Manitoba as producers take stock of their first cut. Rains gave much-needed relief to fields across southern Manitoba since the end of June, but it was largely too late for the forage crop. Top-tier stands this year only reach about 60 per cent of normal, according to John

Crops progressing thanks to rain

By Marlo Glass July 18, 2019

MarketsFarm — Crops across Manitoba were progressing steadily thanks to good amounts of rain across the province last week, according to Manitoba Agriculture’s most recent crop report. Rainfall volumes varied in the southwest region. Southern parts of the region received severe thunderstorms with precipitation around 130 millimetres. However, the northern area still required more rain.

Weather in Manitoba this year has raised sclerotinia questions as producers weigh a bone-dry start with rains that may have put the fungus back in the game.

Decision time on sclerotinia control

The yearly decision may be harder than normal as rain finally falls on Manitoba

By Alexis Stockford July 15, 2019

Producers are scratching their heads on sclerotinia spray this year. On one hand, the weather has been dry for most of the growing season.

Last week’s forecast played out pretty close to what the weather models predicted. For this forecast period it looks like the area of low pressure that brought the unsettled, stormy weather to much of southern and central Manitoba during the first half of this week will have finally moved off to the east.

While the Canadian Prairies are dry, the U.S. is struggling with very wet conditions

For many of us, certain years are permanently imprinted in the brain: 1983, 1993, 1995. While rainfall is generally welcomed, there are those years when one wishes that it would just hold off long enough to get the crop in the ground. Surely 2019 is destined to join that company. Worse than that, it looks
