Feb 04, 2025

Ottawa, ON – David Wiens, President of Dairy Farmers of Canada, issued the following statement regarding the announcement of tariffs on Canadian goods entering the United States:

"Like all Canadians, our nation’s dairy farmers are deeply concerned about the far-reaching impacts that the high tariffs imposed by the United States on Canadian products will have on consumers, industries, and economies on both sides of the border. We stand with our federal government and all parties, showing determination and commitment to swiftly resolving this impasse.

Feeding Canada is what we do, and our dairy farmers are always ready to do their part in ensuring food security for all Canadians."

Video: Winter Canola Trial in Mississippi | Can It Work for Double Cropping? | Pioneer Agronomy

Can winter canola open new opportunities for growers in the Mid-South? In this agronomy update from Noxubee County, Mississippi, Pioneer agronomist Gus Eifling shares an early look at a first-year winter canola trial and what farmers are learning from the field.

Planted in late October on 30-inch rows, the crop is now entering the bloom stage and progressing quickly. In this video, we walk through current field conditions, fertility management, and how timing could make this crop a valuable option for double-cropping soybeans or cotton.

If harvest timing lines up with early May, growers may be able to transition directly into another crop during ideal planting windows. Ongoing field trials will help determine whether canola could become a viable rotational option for the region.

Watch for:

How winter canola is performing in its first season in this Mississippi field

Why growers chose 30-inch rows for this trial

What the crop looks like as it moves from bolting into bloom

Fertility strategy, including nitrogen and sulfur applications

How canola harvest timing could enable double-cropping with soybeans or cotton

Upcoming trials comparing soybeans after canola vs. traditional planting

As more growers look for ways to maximize acres and diversify rotations, experiments like this help determine what new crops might fit into existing systems.
