Change In Weather Slows Fall Field Work

Most crops are off the field here in Manitoba.

 

Dane Froese is an Industry Development Specialist with Manitoba Agriculture.

 

"We've had excellent progress to the end of the harvest year in the Central Region. Right now, a little bit of corn and sunflowers still out in the field but those are wrapping up very quickly and we're nearly done harvest at this time. In the Red River Valley, there was certainly some producers that are trying to beat some of the snow, some made it, some didn't, but some tillage was still ongoing as the snow was coming down. Working in a little extra moisture."

 

Total harvest progress in Manitoba sits at 98 per cent complete. That's about two weeks ahead of normal.

 

Grain corn is at 76 per cent complete, while sunflowers are 81 per cent done.

 

Video: Decoding Pig Performance With AI And Transcriptomics - Dr. Maria Walsh

The Swine it Podcast Show, Dr. Maria Walsh, Chief Operating Officer at Biofractal, explains how transcriptomics and AI are helping swine producers better understand the gap between genetic potential and commercial performance. Dr. Walsh discusses metabolic efficiency, disease resilience, PRRS challenges, and practical on-farm biological insights using blood samples and AI-powered analysis. She also explains how nutrition, health, and production data can work together to improve decision-making. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Gene expression data provides biological insight into how pigs respond to nutrition, stress, and health challenges before visible production losses occur."
