Oat Harvest Wrapping Up

Manitoba's oat harvest is nearly complete.
 
Jenneth Johanson is the president of the Prairie Oat Growers Association (POGA).
 
"The stuff that came off before the weather turned, there was a lot of variation all depending on where rainfall came this summer," she said. "The yields weren't as good as previous years but there were pockets that had some pretty decent yields and then there were pockets that had poorer yields due to lack of moisture throughout the season."
 
Johanson says quality loss is a concern for oats that were taken off during the past few weeks.

Video: Finally We Are On The Fields Planting Corn!

It seems like it was a long-time coming but we are finally on the fields planting corn. Cold, wet weather has made working the land and planting the first of our crops and difficult proposition but today we got at least one corn field done. Join us at Ewetopia Farms as we use old methods to get corn planted. This corn will feed our sheep for another year and heat our home!
