Busy Time For Aerial Applicators

A pilot in southern Manitoba says the crops are looking good from his point of view.
 
Jim Peters is the owner of Pembina Air Services near Morden.
 
"It all looks pretty even stands whether it's a corn field or a bean field or canola or wheat," he said. "Looking like nice even germination and definitely worth spraying it with a fungicide app."
 
Peters says they are busy finishing off later cereals and canola with fungicide. He notes they've also had some grasshopper calls and are now starting on the dry beans.
 
"It's turning into more of a normal year as the year progresses," he added. "We were looking a little concerned heading into the year with some drier conditions but now with the recent rains that we've been getting consistently it seems everything is catching up and we're looking just like a normal year again."
