"Field Heroes" Campaign Encourages Use Of Beneficial Insects

 
The Western Grains Research Foundation (WGRF) has launched a new public awareness campaign – Field Heroes.
 
The Field Heroes campaign encourages growers and agronomists to consider the use of beneficial insects in crop production recommendations and decisions.
 
Producers can use beneficial insects such as lady beetles, ground beetles, lacewings, damsel bugs, and many parasitoids to help control yield-robbing pests.

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.
