Manitoba Crop Report

In the weekly crop report, Manitoba Agriculture says highly variable weather has continued to stress Manitoba crops.

Rainfall is urgently needed to keep crop yields and forage production up, though localized locations, and the eastern region are seeing crops improving compared to the provincial average.

Some crops may be maturing quicker than normal and moving into reproductive stages faster than expected due to drought stress.

Alfalfa weevil damage is causing forage crop yield losses in parts of the eastern and Interlake regions.

Some pesticide drift issues have been reported.

Video: Syngenta Ag Stories - Reanna Hagel, Channel Marketing Manager

Growing up on a cow-calf operation and small feedlot near Lumby, BC, Reanna learned agriculture the hands-on way with her sister on the family farm. Today, as Channel Marketing Manager for Syngenta Canada, what Reanna loves most about her work is simple: the customer is always at the centre. Whether that's a grower or a channel partner, she understands them on a personal level - because she's the daughter of one. But for Reanna, supporting ag doesn't stop at her job. She volunteers with local 4-H clubs, lends a hand to her farming neighbours, and is raising her own kids to understand and respect the land. Her advice to the next generation? "It's an amazing time to be in the industry - it's going to look completely different in 20 years. To be part of the evolution is very exciting."
