Grain Movement Slowing Down in Saskatchewan

Grain movement is slowing down according to the latest report from the Ag Transport Coalition.

The third weekly report says the railways are almost 18 thousand hopper cars or 10 per-cent behind delivery for the first 24 weeks of the crop year.

Brett Halstead, president of the Canadian Canola Growers association, says the railways are losing ground despite warm weather in January.

Halstead says the grain delivery delays are costly and borne by farmers.

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

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.
