Saskatchewan Finds New Cases Of Clubroot

An updated version of the Saskatchewan Clubroot Distribution Map was released on Monday.
 
The map identified eight new cases of the disease in roughly the same area of the Province, which now puts the total number of confirmed clubroot cases in Saskatchewan at 51.
 
SaskCanola Chair Lane Stockbrugger says they weren’t surprised by the areas where it showed up.
 
“ To see it as a gradual development I guess is encouraging, because, number one, it means that it didn't end up in places where we weren't expecting it. So that's positive, but it allows us now to look at it and say, where do we need to focus on building those plans with farmers to reduce the spread of it."

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
