Grain Corn Harvest Starting

Manitoba's grain corn harvest is underway.
 
Anne Kirk is a cereal crop specialist with Manitoba Agriculture.
 
"Harvest is just starting. I think in the central part of the province, harvest began this week or the end of last week. I think that frost that we got a few weeks ago, that was a pretty hard frost, kind of wide-spread throughout the province, that definitely helped dry things down."
 
Kirk says bushel weight might be a bit lighter in some areas due to that frost.
 
She expects limited amounts of drying this fall.

Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

Video: Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

In today’s pork industry, producers are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer inputs—while maintaining performance, improving animal health, and meeting sustainability expectations.

we sit down with Sylvain David and Scott Preston from Olmix to explore how seaweed-based solutions are emerging as a foundational tool in modern swine nutrition.

Rather than acting as simple alternatives, these solutions are designed to support gut health, immune resilience, and overall system consistency—especially during key stress periods like weaning, feed transitions, and disease challenges.

The conversation dives into:

• What seaweed-based solutions actually are and how they work

• Why consistency and standardization matter in “natural” products

• How gut health connects to immune function and performance

• Where producers are seeing real-world impact today

• The role of natural solutions in the future of sustainable pork production
