Manipulator Use on the 2016 Ontario Wheat Crop

Earlier this year, Grain Farmers of Ontario (GFO) and the Ontario Agri Business Association (OABA) were involved in broad industry discussions regarding the implications of using ManipulatorTM, a plant growth regulator, in the 2016 wheat crop. 

ManipulatorTM is not registered for use in the United States so the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has zero tolerance for any residues of the product.

As a result, Ontario farmers are encouraged NOT to use Manipulator™ on the 2016 Ontario wheat crop due to the inherent market risk.

2025 Soybean Harvest Manitoba

Video: 2025 Soybean Harvest Manitoba

I thought I'd take a quick look back at last fall's harvest before planting begins in spring 2026 - another 5 to 6 weeks from now - weather depending. Here are two New Holland combines taking off the last of the soybean crop for 2025 - it's a small field and conditions were not great. My grandson Matty decided he wanted to fly the drone for parts of the video. He did good for a first tile - he's 10.
