Bean Report

There were a wide range of seeding dates this year for all crop types, including pulses and soybeans.

Jennifer McCombe-Theroux is a production specialist with Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG).

"There's a lot of variability for crop staging and priorities," she said. "With this heat, crops are changing quickly but soybeans are mainly ranging from VE, the emergence stage, where the cotyledons have pulled through the soil to V1, which is the first unrolled trifoliate leaf."

McCombe-Theroux says field peas range from V2 to V6 and dry beans range from VC to V1.

Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Video: Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Indoor sheep farming in winter at pre-lambing time requires that, at Ewetopia Farms, we need to clean out the barns and manure in order to keep the sheep pens clean, dry and fresh for the pregnant ewes to stay healthy while indoors in confinement. In today’s vlog, we put fresh bedding into all of the barns and we remove manure from the first groups of ewes due to lamb so that they are all ready for lambs being born in the next few days. Also, in preparation for lambing, we moved one of the sorting chutes to the Coveralls with the replacement ewe lambs. This allows us to do sorting and vaccines more easily with them while the barnyard is snow covered and hard to move sheep safely around in. Additionally, it frees up space for the second groups of pregnant ewes where the chute was initially.
