Manitoba Crop Report

Sep 29, 2021

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.

Video: New Solution Powers Efficient Pork Growth

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
