Manitoba Crop Report

In the weekly crop report, Manitoba Agriculture says strong winds have delayed herbicide application on all crops.
 
Scattered thunderstorms brought significant amounts of rain over the weekend to parts of the eastern, central, and Interlake regions. Some areas also received hail.
 
Southwest and northwest regions and the northern Interlake continue to be dry, and could use rain.
 
Reseeding has largely wrapped up. Unseeded acres may be put into greenfeed production in anticipation of reduced hay and alfalfa yields since crop insurance deadlines have now passed.

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
