Saskatchewan-based Viterra announced Thursday that it will provide $75,000 in aid to support the flood relief efforts in Alberta. Viterra said the contribution will go to the Canadian Red Cross, who is on the ground providing assistance to communities in Southern and parts of Central Alberta.

"Our thoughts go out to our fellow employees, customers and all those impacted by the flooding, and we would like to recognize the Red Cross for the excellent work they are doing to provide assistance,” said Kyle Jeworski, Viterra's President and CEO for North America.

In addition to its donation, Viterra said they’ve created a matching donation program for its employees who would like to contribute to the effort. Viterra is the largest grain and oilseed handler in Canada.

Video: Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
