Saskatchewan Ag sector growing reckless with continued rail delays

 
Saskatchewan farm leaders are disappointed with the delays in Ottawa in approving new grain movement legislation.
 
Canadian Federation of Agriculture vice president and APAS past president Norm Hall of Wynyard says the legislation should have been approved months ago.
 
“We were sort of hoping it would be passed back in February, then it was March, and then it was April, it just being pushed off, and off, some of it is just pure politics, there’s games being played,” Hall says. “In all truthfulness, we wouldn’t be in this situation if the rail roads didn’t stick us in this situation."

White rot, also known as sclerotinia, is a common agricultural fungal disease caused by various virulent species of Sclerotinia. It initially affects the root system (mycelium) before spreading to the aerial parts through the dissemination of spores.

Sclerotinia is undoubtedly a disease of major economic importance, and very damaging in the event of a heavy attack.

All these attacks come from the primary inoculum stored in the soil: sclerotia. These forms of resistance can survive in the soil for over 10 years, maintaining constant contamination of susceptible host crops, causing symptoms on the crop and replenishing the soil inoculum with new sclerotia.
