Bean Report - 22 Jun 2021

Jun 22, 2021

Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG) is providing a crop update in this week's Bean Report.

Laura Schmidt is a production specialist for western Manitoba.

"Soybeans range from V1 to V4 and will be starting to flower with the change in day length," she said. "IDC symptoms have started to show up in some fields but most fields remain symptom free. Dry beans range from the unifoliate to the third tri-foliate stage. Southern areas of the province received high winds, damaging some bean crops resulting in leaf tearing and stem breakage, which thankfully now are regrowing...In these fields, expect some bacterial blight to infect those damaged plants and at low severity levels, this isn't typically a yield limiting disease."

She also touched on field peas and faba beans.

"Field peas range from eight to ten nodes, with some at R1 or flower bud stage, with a few open blooms here and there. Faba beans are also advancing with earlier seeded crops beginning to flower at around eight to nine leaf nodes."

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
