The Manitoba Oat Growers Association (MOGA) held its AGM earlier this month at CropConnect in Winnipeg.
Chair Doyle Penner looked back on the past growing season.
"It was actually a fairly decent year," he said. "We got off to a pretty good start. It was dry during the June to early July stages which reduced our crop to some degree. The rains came a little bit later so it wasn't the big crop we were really hoping for, but it was decent."
Penner says there could be some challenges this spring in terms of tillage.
He explained how MOGA's check-off dollars are spent.
"Research and market access, those are the two main ones that we're going into. We're always looking to explore the Mexican market. We've spent a lot of time and money on proving our relationships. There's a big demand for oats there and we're really encouraged by that."
