Corn Crop Update

Jun 10, 2021

Corn growers are welcoming the rain in many parts of the province this week.

Morgan Cott is an Agronomy Extension Specialist with the Manitoba Crop Alliance.

"The crop is looking good in areas and struggling in other areas," she commented. "The dry soil is really starting to affect some fields. I'm noticing some curling up plants, their colours changing just a little bit. They are getting a little bit more pale and bluish rather than green. The rain certainly will have helped."

Cott says generally the corn crop is at the V2 stage.

She notes cutworms have been spotted but nothing major. Disease is not a concern at this time of year.

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.
