Cold Weather Slows Last Week's Seeding Progress

Snow, rain, and cold temperatures have slowed seeding progress in Manitoba over the past week, but Manitoba Agriculture reports operations have passed the halfway mark.
 
The weekly crop report estimates seeding is at 61 per cent complete provincially, with crops continuing to emerge. However, cereal specialist Pam de Rocquigny says frost last week took a toll on some of those emerged crops.
 
"Across the province in terms of some of the emerged crops that are showed some injury symptoms, they include crops such as canola, soybeans, and corn as well, so producers are assessing those stands and those crops right now," she says. "The key is, at this point, to look for that new growth from the growing point and assess your plants stands as well, and then to make decisions going forward from there."
