Saskatchewan Finds New Cases Of Clubroot

An updated version of the Saskatchewan Clubroot Distribution Map was released on Monday.
 
The map identified eight new cases of the disease in roughly the same area of the Province, which now puts the total number of confirmed clubroot cases in Saskatchewan at 51.
 
SaskCanola Chair Lane Stockbrugger says they weren’t surprised by the areas where it showed up.
 
“ To see it as a gradual development I guess is encouraging, because, number one, it means that it didn't end up in places where we weren't expecting it. So that's positive, but it allows us now to look at it and say, where do we need to focus on building those plans with farmers to reduce the spread of it."

Video: Crop duster agplane flying action Conger Minnesota Air Tractor Bell 206 Jet Ranger Airailimages

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
