U.S. grains: Corn sags on long liquidation, favourable crop conditions

By GFM Network News, Julie Ingwersen June 1, 2018

Chicago | Reuters — U.S. corn futures fell on Friday on technical selling including fund-driven long liquidation along with strong crop prospects amid mostly favourable weather in the U.S. Midwest, analysts said. Wheat futures also declined as the U.S. winter wheat harvest began while soybeans closed firm as traders awaited news from U.S.-China trade talks

A previously parched agricultural Manitoba got some needed relief last week with a series of rain- and thunderstorms.

Drinking it in

Many farmers got their wish  for rain in late May, although not everyone was so lucky

By Alexis Stockford June 1, 2018

Last week was a cool drink of water for much of Manitoba, but patches of the province are still gasping for rain. Late May broke the dry spell that had been gripping almost all of agricultural Manitoba for April and May. “The rain that happened a week and a half ago didn’t really hit the

As I pointed out in last week’s forecast, some areas would see rain while other areas might miss out, and this is exactly what happened. While some regions have seen the drought conditions come to an end, other areas continue to struggle with dry conditions. For this forecast period, it looks like we may just

The hottest Manitoba summers

For the Winnipeg area, 1983 still reigns as the hottest July-August stretch of all

By Daniel Bezte May 29, 2018

Several years ago, I took the time to analyze summer temperatures to see when the hottest summer occurred. With the summerlike heat we are beginning to see, I thought it would be interesting to take another look at that data. Surprisingly, trying to find and pull out heat waves that have hit southern and central

Seeding nears completion, rapid germination, crop growth seen

Manitoba Crop Report and Crop Weather report for May 28

By Manitoba Agriculture May 28, 2018

Seeding is nearing completion for the 2018 season in Manitoba, with progress estimated at 94 per cent complete. Most areas of the province received rainfall, although amounts were variable. Additional precipitation is needed in many areas. The recent rains combined with warm temperatures have resulted in rapid germination, emergence, and crop growth. Herbicide applications are

Forage producers had their fingers crossed for rain last week, but the promised storms missed a range of farmers still looking for moisture.

Concern raised over flagging forage

Manitoba’s dry spell needs to break soon, or it could mean bad news for forage crops in the west. For some winterkilled crops, though, it’s already too late

By Alexis Stockford May 26, 2018

Forage crops are off to a rough start. Producers and provincial experts say forages got a double hit this spring, with strained crops failing to survive the winter while those that made it through still struggle with slow growth. Ken Harms, who produces hay near Snowflake, says subpar stands in his area actually ran into

My weather forecasts seem to be starting off the same every week now. Last week’s forecast was nearly bang on, except for a little more rain over eastern regions last Friday. For this forecast period, it is going to feel more like mid-summer rather than late spring. While the hot weather will not help those

Time to learn about thunderstorms

When conditions are in place, we have a watch; when storms happen, we have a warning

By Daniel Bezte May 23, 2018

As spring begins to transition into summer, I like to revisit what I find to be one of the most interesting weather topics: thunderstorms. As temperatures begin to climb and moisture (hopefully) begins to flow northward, the ingredients come together to develop thunderstorms. So far this year we haven’t seen much thunderstorm activity, but as
