Feed Pea Benchmark Report Oct. 28/18

Values for all ingredients in Manitoba remained largely unchanged over the past two weeks. However, feed barley and wheat prices in Saskatchewan and Alberta declined sharply as better weather allowed for the resumption of harvesting activities. Corn DDGS prices inched higher and prospects for further increases remain bullish in light of the revised fuel mandate policy recently announced by the US government. Protein pricing remains choppy, weighed down by the prospects of a bumper US soybean crop and they buoyed by large volume bargain purchases of both beans and meal. Feed pea prices remained unchanged, trading for $260/T in Manitoba, $255/T in Saskatchewan, and $250/T in Alberta.

AB: $299
SK: $262
MB: $256

Video: LALEXPERT: Sclerotinia cycle and prophylactic methods

White rot, also known as sclerotinia, is a common agricultural fungal disease caused by various virulent species of Sclerotinia. It initially affects the root system (mycelium) before spreading to the aerial parts through the dissemination of spores.

Sclerotinia is undoubtedly a disease of major economic importance, and very damaging in the event of a heavy attack.

All these attacks come from the primary inoculum stored in the soil: sclerotia. These forms of resistance can survive in the soil for over 10 years, maintaining constant contamination of susceptible host crops, causing symptoms on the crop and replenishing the soil inoculum with new sclerotia.
