The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in a report released Wednesday, pegged average corn yields at 181.3 bushels per acre — up by about three bushels per acre from the

Some Manitoba cornfields, or parts of them, are maturing faster than usual because of the previous hot and dry growing conditions.

Manitoba cornfields maturing faster than usual

Yields and quality expected to be hurt this season

By Allan Dawson September 1, 2018

Corn loves heat, but it also needs rain. Above-average heat and below-average rainfall have resulted in some Manitoba cornfields, or parts of them, prematurely drying up, raising concerns about yield and quality. “The crop is speeding along a lot faster than we would like it to,” Morgan Cott, the Manitoba Corn Growers Association’s field agronomist,

Pulse weekly outlook: Wider price spreads likely with big chickpea crop ahead

By GFM Network News, Phil Franz-Warkentin July 18, 2018

CNS Canada — Canadian farmers planted their largest chickpea crop in more than a decade in 2018, with the bigger crop likely to lead to a wider price spread between larger- and smaller-calibre supplies. Statistics Canada has placed chickpea acreage for 2018 at 468,900 acres, which would be well above the 160,000 acres planted in

Consider canola crop’s potential yield before spraying

By GFM Network News, Lisa Guenther June 20, 2018

As July approaches and crop canopies close, sclerotinia will be on the minds of many canola growers. But will it pay to spray? Fungicide applications are more likely to be profitable when the canola hits 30-40 bushels per acre, said Colleen Redlick, senior technical development specialist at BASF.

Study finds organic’s sustainability ‘context-dependent’

By GFM Network News, Manitoba Co-operator Staff March 11, 2017

When weighed for sustainability, the purported benefits and costs of organic agriculture can actually “vary heavily” from case to case, a new University of British Columbia study finds. The UBC study, titled “Many shades of gray: The context-dependent performance of organic agriculture,” published Friday in the U.S. journal Science Advances, sets out to “systematically review
