Corn Crop Soaking Up Heat And Moisture

A field agronomist with the Manitoba Corn Growers Association is surprised to see how far the crop has come along.
 
Morgan Cott says she's pleased with how Manitoba's corn crop is looking.
 
She notes the moisture situation has been ideal.
 
“The moisture's perfect, it's really good. Especially for the heat that we're going to be getting now, it's great because we have good reserves. I think there's a little bit of puddling depending on where you are but that's going to go away quite fast I'm expecting.”

Video: Grazing Network Group: What it is and how it benefits our operation

In the spring of 2023 OMAFA, along with the University of Guelph, gathered a group of 18 producers from the beef, sheep, and dairy sectors to support a three to four year research project related to measuring grass growth in Ontario. The producers use a Rising Plate Meter to capture grass growth and record livestock movements. This presentation will explain how the group interact/support one another, some initial findings, as well as the benefits for the research team and our farm.

The purpose of the Profitable Pastures conference is to bring fresh ideas and new research results to Ontario grazing managers across the ruminant livestock sectors. These conferences have a major focus on pasture management
