Warmer Soils Needed For Canola Seeding

It's still a little early for canola seeding.

That according to Justine Cornelsen with the Canola Council of Canada.

"We're still likely a few weeks out of canola seeding in Manitoba...We've still got some really cool soil temperatures. We're getting in a bunch of those other crops so I know a lot of operations started with their cereals this week or are getting some of their pulses down."

She says soil temperatures should be over 5 or 6 degrees to seed canola.

"We want it to emerge quickly out of the ground, so the warmer the soil temperature you can get, the better off...If you're able to put it in the ground at over eight degrees, you'll have that canola emerge within a one to two day period. So you get it up and out of the ground really quick, and that's when it has moisture as well. So this year, obviously that's going to be our limiting factor."

Video: Farm Health Guardian | Digital Biosecurity in Real Time

Disease risk, biosecurity, and real-time monitoring continue to be major topics across the pork industry. In this episode of Swine Web Industry Perspectives, presented by Farm Health Guardian, we discuss how digital biosecurity and real-time data are changing the way producers think about herd protection, people movement, and operational decision-making.

The conversation explores:

disease risk in modern pork production,

the impact of people movement on biosecurity,

the importance of real-time monitoring,

digital biosecurity technology,

and how Farm Health Guardian developed tools designed to support modern swine operations.

As the industry continues focusing on prevention, preparedness, and operational efficiency, connected technologies and actionable data are becoming increasingly important parts of modern herd health management.
