Oat Growers Meet In Moose Jaw

The Prairie Oat Growers Association (POGA) is holding its 18th annual conference today in Moose Jaw.
 
POGA president Art Enns says overall the oat acreage across the Prairies has been holding, adding we've seen some decent prices. He notes there’s some good interest in the oat industry.
 
"We've got our transportation going back to normal and we've been able to get our product to the mills in the U.S. and into Mexico," he says. "Is it ideal yet? No, but it's been a vast improvement, which has really helped our industry to be able to focus on where to grow and where to move to."

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
