Manitoba Agriculture Crop Report

 
  •  Seeding progress was slower than normal in April, but in May progress was very quick with 95% of the main field crops seeded by the fourth week of May. The 5 year average to achieve 95% seeded is the first week of June.
  •  Dry conditions persisted throughout most of the province until mid-September. Crop yields for spring cereals and canola are better than average in many areas; however, lower yields were reported for soybeans due to dry conditions during pod filling. Dry weather conditions and low disease pressure resulted in good crop quality.
  •  Harvest in Manitoba is nearing completion. Harvest of cereal crops, field peas, and canola is essentially complete. Soybean and flax harvest is close to complete, grain corn and sunflower harvest is ongoing.
  • Germination and stand establishment of winter cereal crops is good; seeded acres are down across the province.
  • Fall field work including tillage, soil testing, post-harvest weed control, and fertilizer applications of anhydrous ammonia is on-going.
