Soybean Seeding Fully Underway, Nearing Completion In Some Areas

 
Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG) is expecting to see about two million acres of soybeans go into the ground this year.
 
That would be another record for Manitoba.
 
Production Specialist Cassandra Tkachuk says growers have been busy fulfilling that number.
 
"At this point in time, soybean seeding is fully underway and almost completed in the south central region of Manitoba. For the east, west, and northern growing areas of Manitoba, we're still at the start of soybean seeding, but I expect it to be fully underway in these areas as of this week. Seeding of peas and faba beans is now wrapped up in the province as well."

Officials are forced to defend cutting a historic $3.8 million research farm while the government simultaneously funded an $8.5 million cricket factory that went bankrupt. Is this evidence of an incoherent spending strategy? Watch the full committee clash to see the government's official rationale.

A heated discussion erupts over the logic behind the government's cuts to AAFC research farms in Lacombe, Indian Head, and Quebec City. MPs question why core, decades-old scientific infrastructure is being deemed 'not core' while other, controversial programs were funded. The Deputy Minister is repeatedly pressed for the actual net savings of the decision versus the expense of relocating research programs.
