The 2018 Seed Manitoba Guide is now available.
 
Anastasia Kubinec, Manager of Crop Industry Development for Manitoba Agriculture explains what's new this year.
 
"We do have in the canola section, we did put in a clubroot map. We do feel with clubroot being in Manitoba, if producers haven't see where it is in the province, that we wanted to provide them that information and then they can make their variety choices based on that."
 
She notes the guide also breaks down soybeans east vs west.
 
Kubinec notes all of the information in the seed guide is unbiased.

Residue Management

Video: Residue Management

Residue Management conservation practice manages the amount, orientation, and distribution of crop and other plant residue on the soil surface year-round while limiting soil-disturbing activities used to grow and harvest crops in systems where the field surface is tilled prior to planting. This video explores how Ryan McKenzie implemented this conservation practice on his farm in Samson, Alabama.

Practice benefits:

• Increases organic matter

• Improves air quality

• Decreases energy costs

• Reduces erosion

• Improves soil health

The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
