Manitoba Crop Report

Manitoba Agriculture says over 90% of all crops in the province have been harvested. That's ahead of the 5-year average of 77% for the same period.

The majority of the outstanding acres are soybeans, corn, and sunflowers.

Winter cereal seeding is nearly complete.

Canola in Manitoba is generally yielding lower than average oil content, based on preliminary Canadian Grain Commission harvest survey reports.

Regrowth on drought-stressed soybeans is present in some fields in the most severely hit areas, but has not affected harvest quality.

Grain corn and sunflower harvest is now underway.

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
