Ag Crown Land Lease Auctions To Go Online Jan 31

The Manitoba government’s agricultural Crown land lease and permit auctions will be held online beginning Monday, January 31.

“The online auction format ensures we can offer all Manitoba producers the opportunity to lease agricultural lands while remaining in accordance with current public health orders,” said Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development Minister Ralph Eichler. “Potential bidders are encouraged to become informed prior to the auction by researching the parcels and units of interest and becoming familiar with lease or permit obligations.”

A number of agricultural Crown land parcels will be available to rent for haying, grazing or cropping.

The official listing of agricultural Crown lands available for rent can be found at: http://resd.ca/leases_and_permits/LPproperties.aspx#agLeasePermit.

The online auctions will be hosted by Garton’s Auction Service from Jan. 31 to Feb. 4, with further information to follow on https://gartonsauction.com/.

These leases and permits are available to farmers and ranchers to provide an additional land base to conduct agricultural activities.

In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Aaron Gaines and Dr. Bart Borg explore the differences in soybean meal net energy and productive energy in commercial swine diets versus book values and how this improved understanding impacts formulation strategies for nutritionists and economic considerations. Listen and watch!

“In terms of energy value of soybean meal on a dry matter basis, 95% is fairly common, however, we're seeing some corporate movement where companies have tested this for themselves, and they're moving up to 100%-110% of corn on a dry matter basis.” Dr. Aaron Gaines, PhD, Ani-Tek, LLC

“For nutritionists, with all this new information coming in, I would encourage them to do the extra work of the cost optimization after the formulation, because that’s really where the rubber meets the road.” Dr. Bart Borg, PhD, Passel Farms
