Manitoba Crop Report - Week 7 Jul 2021

Jul 07, 2021

Manitoba Agriculture says rapid deterioration of crop conditions and moisture reserves was noticeable across Manitoba this week, as the western heat dome moved into the province bringing record-breaking temperatures.

Many crops are maturing faster than normal and grain and pod filling on cereals, canola and peas will be affected by heat and lack of moisture this week.

Fungicide applications on cereals and canola are unlikely to occur on many fields.

Grasshopper feeding has become more widespread, insecticide applications are occurring in all regions, primarily on hay, pasture and cereal crops, as well as roadside ditches.

The RM of St. Laurent has declared an agricultural disaster, with more municipalities in the Interlake expected to follow due to persistent growing challenges including insects and lack of rainfall.

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
