Crop Predictions For 2017

With 2017 upon us, market analysts are making their predictions for the year ahead.
 
Brian Voth is the president of Prairie Farm Consulting.
 
He tells us what's he's expecting to see in southern Manitoba.
 
"I think you're going to see more beans because they're the ones that pencil out the best on any budget that we've done. You'll probably see less canola in the Red River Valley, overall canola acres I'm guessing will probably be unchanged across western Canada. Soybeans continue to expand into Saskatchewan and into Alberta."
 
Voth says he also expects to see a jump in oats, as a result of some good new crop pricing.

We are taking students out to southern Manitoba to Hespler Farms! Farmer Wayne will teach students how he plants and cares for his potato crop and why potatoes are such a unique crop to grow. Teachers, check out your AITC Dashboard for Math'd Potatoes, a potato-themed classroom resource to pair with this tour video. Thank you to Peak of the Market and Penner Farm Services for making this event possible.
