Crop Report

Jun 09, 2021

Manitoba Agriculture says seeding is 99 per cent complete.

Patchy emergence has been noted in nearly all crops, most apparently on later or deeper-planted crops.

Crop recovery from frost in late May has been good, and cereals are generally doing well. Reseeding is complete for frost-affected soybean and canola crops.

Reseed continues for flea beetle damaged canola, where insecticide applications have not been as effective as hoped.

Herbicide applications are in full swing, as wind and heat allows. Cereals applications are over half complete; canola herbicide spray has been delayed to prioritize flea beetle suppression.

Governments have provided livestock producers with funding options to address dry conditions on pasture regarding alternative water strategies. Crown Lands are available for haying by livestock producers, and will be allocated by draws on June 11 and June 21.

Video: New Solution Powers Efficient Pork Growth

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
