Crop quality varies widely: Manitoba Crop Report

Manitoba Agriculture says crop quality varies widely, with southern areas of the province in better condition than areas further north, all dependent on rainfall accumulation and speed of drainage.

Fungicide application is slowing across Manitoba, as crops grow past the appropriate timing windows.

Producers have done much more fungicide application in 2022 than in recent years.

A few insect concerns have popped up in localized spots across Manitoba, with bertha armyworm spraying reported in the Eastern region.

Soybean and pea aphids have been found in those crops, with pea aphid insecticide spraying often occurring with the fungicide pass. Soybean aphids have showed up in localized spots, and remain below thresholds but should be monitored closely.

Sometimes you have to pull out the tool that nobody wants to use to save the crop. we're hooked up to the rotary hoe because the ground has crusted over hard, and our corn is struggling to emerge. It's a bumpy, dusty job, but getting that top layer broken up is the only way to give this corn a fighting chance! Once the rescue mission is complete, we're shifting gears. We hit the fields for some spraying, find some dry dirt to work and finally get the planter rolling. It’s been over 2 weeks since a seed has been put into the ground… it sure feels good to be back!!
