Manitoba Crop Report

Recent rain in some areas of Manitoba resulted in another delay with the harvest.

This week's crop report shows 37 per cent of the provincial crop is now in.

The winter cereal harvest is now complete with winter wheat yields averaging 60 bushels an acre, while fall rye averaged 70 bushels an acre.

Dennis Lange is the Provincial Pulse Specialist and puts together the weekly crop report.

He says harvest is most advanced in the Central region of the province where 100 per cent of the field peas and  95 per cent of the spring wheat, barley and oats crops are now in the bin.

Creating Pollinator Habitat From Farmland

Video: Creating Pollinator Habitat From Farmland

Why did we turn this land in to pollinator habitat? We we rented this farm consisting of six fields this 23 acres was the most challenging. Nine acres of is a large sandhill with trees all along the North edge. Most years it wouldn't produce very much grain at all. So when we bought this farm we decided it was time to take that hill out of production and put it to good use. So we seeded it to pollinator habitat. Here's a look at it three years in, and it's looking better every year. There's a strong marestail seedbank out there, but the pollinator species are beating it back a little more each year. The grasses have really come on strong this year. And we have a neighbor who keeps some beehives on the habitat. Hope you enjoy taking a tour of our pollinator habitat!
