Manitoba crop report- week of May 14, 2018

  • Provincially, seeding in Manitoba estimated to be 55% complete.  Cereals, peas, and some early seeded canola are starting to emerge.   
     
  • No significant precipitation was received; in the majority of the province soils are dry and precipitation is needed to aid in crop germination and emergence. 
     
  • Temperatures below 0°C reported throughout the province. Minimal crop injury reported due to little crop emergence. 
     
  • Regrowth of winter cereals, pasture, and hayfields continues to be slow due to dry topsoil conditions.

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."
