Bean Report

Farmers were glad to see some rain over the long weekend.

Laura Schmidt is a production specialist with Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG).

"In classic May Long fashion, we finally got some moisture to work with. Most areas got around 10 to 30 mm with some localized spots receiving up to 50 mm. Soybean seeding is well underway and complete for some farms. Earlier seeded soybeans have emerged and are at the cotyledon to unifoliate stages. Others are still soaking up moisture and are germinating."

Schmidt says earlier seeded peas are at the third to fourth node stages, while those that went in later or went into dry soil are around the first node stage.

Faba beans are emerging and dry bean seeding is ongoing.

Video: NEW Case IH x MacDon FD2 Plus Draper Header Complete Overview


Case IH introduces the new MacDon FD2 Plus Draper Header—a next-generation platform engineered for productivity, precision, and performance across varying field conditions.

The FD2 Plus Series is available in multiple widths—30 ft, 35 ft, 40 ft, 45 ft, 50 ft, and 61 ft—ensuring a perfect match for every Case IH combine, says Ryan Lepp, harvest product marketing manager.

It's designed to handle today’s high-yielding crops, delivering a smoother feeding, cleaner cuts, and superior ground following.

Key features:
>> A 50-inch Draper belt increases crop flow into the feeder house for steady, efficient harvesting.
>> The flexible cutter bar, essential for soybeans and uneven terrain, hugs the ground to capture low pods and reduce grain loss.
>> The optimized reel positioning keeps the reel close to the cutter bar for cleaner feeding and reduced shatter.
>> The FD2 Plus header pairs seamlessly with Case IH AF9, AF10, AF11, and 260 Series combines.
