Bean Report

There were a wide range of seeding dates this year for all crop types, including pulses and soybeans.

Jennifer McCombe-Theroux is a production specialist with Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG).

"There's a lot of variability for crop staging and priorities," she said. "With this heat, crops are changing quickly but soybeans are mainly ranging from VE, the emergence stage, where the cotyledons have pulled through the soil to V1, which is the first unrolled trifoliate leaf."

McCombe-Theroux says field peas range from V2 to V6 and dry beans range from VC to V1.
