Soybean Harvest Expected To Ramp Up This Week

Farmers will be focusing on the soybean harvest in the coming days.

 

The province's pulse specialist Dennis Lange talked about this year's crop.

 

"We've had some challenges through the year because of the dry weather we've had again this year. The crop generally looks OK but we did see some soybeans mature a little bit sooner than what we would normally like to see," he said. "Overall, I think we're still in pretty good shape for this year. Last year we were looking at an average of 32 bushels per acre across the province. I'm thinking this year, from what I've seen, we might be a little bit lower than that. Time will tell once we get into the first part of harvest."

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!
