2024 CARP submission deadline is not that far away

The Canola Council of Canada is now accepting letters of intent for the 2024 Canola Agronomic Research Program (CARP).

The goal of the program is to help canola farmers increase yield and profitability, while reducing production risks and enhancing sustainability with effective knowledge and technology transfer.
 
A list of research priorities can be found on the Alberta Canola, SaskCanola, and Manitoba Canola Growers websites.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, June 16, 2023, with notification and requests for full proposals going out to applicants in early September.

What insect threats are Minnesota corn growers facing, and what research is helping farmers stay ahead of them?

At the 2026 MN Ag Expo, University of Minnesota entomologist Fei Yang shared updates on three Minnesota Corn-supported research projects focused on insect monitoring, seed treatments, and pest resistance.

Current work includes statewide monitoring programs that use pheromone, light, and sticky traps to track key pests such as black cutworm, true armyworm, corn earworm, European corn borer, and corn rootworm. Researchers are also evaluating whether high-rate seed treatments provide effective corn rootworm control and studying the development of resistance in European corn borer populations to Bt corn traits.

These projects help researchers better understand pest pressures across Minnesota and provide farmers with practical information to support informed management decisions.
