Manitoba Crop Report

Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development says total seeding progress is sitting at about 42 per cent complete, compared to the three-year average of 55 per cent.
 
Seed germination and emergence has been slow, though expected to improve rapidly with warmer conditions.
 
Many farmers are unable to seed corner-corner, as frequent wet spots prevent machinery access. Delays and stuck equipment are common.
 
Producers are considering switching out of longer-season corn crops in favour of shorter season cereals if corn is not planted by the end of this week.
 
Farmers are managing soil surface moisture with vertical tillage, multi-pass harrowing, or residue burning.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad..
