Crop School Moves To Online Format

The province's Crop Diagnostic School is moving to an online format this year.
 
Anastasia Kubinec is Manager of Crop Industry Development with Manitoba Agriculture.
 
"We still have people in the field doing things but it's all recorded," she said. "Instead of folks having to worry about getting a sunburn, they can watch at their leisure at home. It's not where you have to go through all the content in one day, how we've set it up this year, people actually have a month once they get in. It opened July 7th and it closes August 7th."
 
The event normally takes place at the University of Manitoba research site in Carman.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
