Bean Report

Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG) is giving an update on the soybean crop.

Cassandra Tkachuk is a production specialist for eastern Manitoba.

"Soybeans are mainly at the emergence to unifoliate stages across the province, but soybean crops overall range anywhere from ground cracks in the later seeded fields to the first trifoliate stage in the earlier seeded fields. We're seeing a lot of uneven plant stands right now in soybeans and also wide variability in development."

She notes field peas are mainly at the V5 to V6 stages.

Dry bean planting wrapped up in western Manitoba this past week. Plants are out of the ground in central and eastern Manitoba. Emergence has been delayed in some areas by a couple of weeks due to the dry conditions.
