Manitoba Crop Report shows this year's cereal crop is almost in

Manitoba Agriculture's first crop report of the year shows 25 per cent of the provincial crop is now in, compared to the 5-year average of 63 per cent.

Dennis Lange the Provincial pulse and soybean specialist and editor of the Provincial Crop Report says seeding is moving along now with the warmer weather.

"Farmers are now able to get into the field and pretty much seed where they would like to seed now except for maybe some of the flooded drowned area along the river. Generally, field conditions are looking quite good out there right now. We're seeding into moisture in most of the areas which is also good,  considering two weeks ago there was still snow banks in the yard."

Breaks are hard to come by in harvest. That’s why we took the MtoM podcasting equipment to the field to visit on the issues of the day with April Hemmes of Hampton, Iowa. She filled us in on her thoughts on trade negotiations, inputs costs and machinery prices. Then she turned the tables and put Paul behind the steering wheel and started asking her own questions.
