MPSG Looking For On-Farm Research Participants

Feb 21, 2019

Last year, Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG) conducted over 70 on-farm research trials across the province.

On-Farm Specialist Greg Bartley talked about their focus this year.

"We have a large focus on soybeans, that is the majority of acres that we represent, so we have a multitude of trials to look at in soybeans, whether it's inoculants, seed treatments, fungicide. We're also trying to focus more on pulse crops. So we're trying to increase our presence in dry beans and field beans and even looking at faba bean data as well."

Farmers who participate will receive a statistical analysis following the trial. Those interested in participating in this year's trials can go to www.manitobapulse.ca.

MPSG has been investing in on-farm research since 2012.

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. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. 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.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
