Hot weather advances crops, hurts some canola in process

Manitoba Crop Report and Crop Weather report for August 8

By Manitoba Agriculture August 9, 2017

Moderate to hot weather from past weeks has advanced crops, but also caused some injury in canola. Rainfall occurred throughout the province, but in many areas more is still needed. Harvest has begun in winter cereals and field peas with good yields and quality reported. Insect monitoring is on-going in many crops, but disease incidence

Forecast: Models confident in high pressure

Issued July 31, 2017 – Covering the period from August 2 to August 9, 2017

By Daniel Bezte August 3, 2017

With the exception of a few timing issues, last week’s forecast was pretty decent as high pressure dominated the picture, bringing with it the warmest weather of the summer. This forecast period looks to begin with a little break from the hot, muggy weather, though that break may be short lived as it appears likely

Hail damage in soybeans continues to rise

MASC sees record hail claims after two of the worst years  for hail damage in recent history

By Ron Friesen August 3, 2017

Soybeans are having a ‘hail’ of a time in Manitoba, thanks to two of the worst years for hail damage in recent memory. Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation in 2016 paid soybean growers $5.2 million in hail damage claims, 12 per cent of its total hail payouts for that year, statistics show. The year before, in

Farmers watch markets rally as crops wither

Weather and market analyst Bruce Burnett took a  first-hand look at crops across the West

By Laura Rance-Unger July 28, 2017

If Glacier FarmMedia weather and market analyst Bruce Burnett had to pick one word to sum up the state of the Prairie crop this summer, it would be “variable.” Burnett logged a 4,500-km crop tour across the Prairies in mid-July and reported in at the third annual Ag in Motion farm show about what he

Forecast: High pressure set to dominate for the next few days

Issued July 24, 2017 – Covering the period from July 26 to August 2, 2017

By Daniel Bezte July 27, 2017

So far this summer forecasting the weather has been tough, to say the least. We’ve basically been in a battle between a ridge of high pressure to our southwest and an active storm track to our north. Every time the weather models predict that the ridge of high pressure will win out, a storm system

U.S. weather scares funds out of their shorts

Hot and dry conditions throughout much of the U.S. are causing supply concerns

By Karen Braun July 25, 2017

Speculators have turned bullish across all three Chicago and Minneapolis wheat contracts for the first time in over two years. Funds are also buying back gobs of corn and soybean contracts after being record or near-record short in recent weeks. Crops in the United States are extremely sensitive to weather at this time of year.

Forecast: A potential heat wave, again

By Daniel Bezte July 20, 2017

Last week’s forecast began with a much-stronger-than-anticipated area of low pressure that brought some welcome rains to a good portion of southern and central Manitoba. The rest of the forecast played out fairly well, but once again, the forecast heat didn’t really materialize as the western ridge of high pressure is continually knocked down every

Forecast: Warm, with scattered thunderstorms

By Daniel Bezte July 13, 2017

Well, for once, our weather over the last forecast period played out fairly close to what the weather models were calling for and we didn’t get hijacked by an upper-level low. What didn’t pan out as forecast was the extreme heat that was expected to move in — at least, not yet. The weather models

I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but once again our weather was hijacked by an upper-level low. This one sat over northern Manitoba late last week, then dropped to the southeast early last weekend. This looks to be the last of these pesky upper lows as all of the weather models point toward
