Manitoba Harvest More than Half Finished

Sep 13, 2023

The Manitoba harvest has moved past the halfway mark, with some producers experiencing delays from showers and high humidity this past week, while others made very good progress.

Tuesday’s weekly crop report pegged the overall harvest in the province at 51% complete, up from 37% a week earlier and ahead of 42% on average. Harvest progress is the most advanced in the Central Region, where 68% of all crops are now in the bin. The Eastern and Northwest regions are 48% harvested, followed by the Interlake at 44% and the Southwest at 42%.

Harvest continues in spring cereal crops, with barley at 81% complete, oats at 83% complete and spring wheat at 85% complete. Overall, cereal crops remain in fair to mostly good condition, the report said.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
