Corn Starting To Emerge

Corn growers are having varied levels of success with seeding this spring.
 
Morgan Cott, field agronomist with the Manitoba Corn Growers Association, says seeding in the Red River Valley is almost complete, while areas east and west are not as advanced.
 
Cott says she has received reports of corn already starting to emerge.
 
"Within the last few days there has been a little bit," she said. "And a little bit of cutworms I've heard of, so that's something to watch out for. I think this weekend will be a big weekend for corn emerging and start to see a lot more I think."

Officials are forced to defend cutting a historic $3.8 million research farm while the government simultaneously funded an $8.5 million cricket factory that went bankrupt. Is this evidence of an incoherent spending strategy? Watch the full committee clash to see the government's official rationale.

A heated discussion erupts over the logic behind the government's cuts to AAFC research farms in Lacombe, Indian Head, and Quebec City. MPs question why core, decades-old scientific infrastructure is being deemed 'not core' while other, controversial programs were funded. The Deputy Minister is repeatedly pressed for the actual net savings of the decision versus the expense of relocating research programs.
