Manitoba Crop Report

Crops are generally in average to good condition, according to the latest Manitoba Agriculture crop report.
 
The exception however, is in low-lying areas that have been subjected to frequent rainfall over the past three weeks.
 
Winter cereals are reaching the soft dough stage, and turning colour with harvest expected to start in about two weeks.
 
The report indicates corn and sunflowers are growing well with heat and moisture, tassling and flowering are beginning.
 
Canola and peas are suffering in places from excess moisture, but doing well in others. Cereals are rated as mostly good to excellent.
 
Meantime, grasshoppers have become a concern in cereal and soybean fields.

We cover: we are chatting with Dan Gangon of Broadfork Farm in Virginia. I saw Dan and his partner Janet speak at the VABF conference a few years back and I just loved how down to earth they were about the ups and downs of winter farming, farming in general, and work life balance, which is a lot of what we chat about today. We are also gonna be talking about how and why they certify as Certified Naturally Grown, and how that label has worked for them.
