Crop Report

Jun 09, 2021

Manitoba Agriculture says seeding is 99 per cent complete.

Patchy emergence has been noted in nearly all crops, most apparently on later or deeper-planted crops.

Crop recovery from frost in late May has been good, and cereals are generally doing well. Reseeding is complete for frost-affected soybean and canola crops.

Reseed continues for flea beetle damaged canola, where insecticide applications have not been as effective as hoped.

Herbicide applications are in full swing, as wind and heat allows. Cereals applications are over half complete; canola herbicide spray has been delayed to prioritize flea beetle suppression.

Governments have provided livestock producers with funding options to address dry conditions on pasture regarding alternative water strategies. Crown Lands are available for haying by livestock producers, and will be allocated by draws on June 11 and June 21.
