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.”

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
