Manitoba Crop Report - Nov 5

About a quarter of the province's soybeans remain unharvested.
 
Dane Froese is with Manitoba Agriculture.
 
"There's still some optimism around soybeans given that most of the time soybean stalks are a little bit more firm and stand up to strong winds and weather conditions better than a straw-based crop like cereal or wheat," he said. "As long as we don't have too much snow, and it stays cold and snow-free, for the most part producers will be able to get those soybean crops off."
 
The province says overall harvest progress is sitting at about 89 per cent complete.

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.
