The Manitoba Canola Growers Scholarship Program is now open.

To be eligible for a scholarship students must live on, work for, or have guardians that work for a farm that is a member of Manitoba Canola Growers Association. 

Applications must be received by April 1, 2024 and will be judged based on academics, canola connection, school and community involvement, and essay submission. 

The top five applicants will be selected and each winner will be presented with a $1000 scholarship.

The scholarship must be used in the two years following high school graduation.

What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring

Video: What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring



This is the first episode of a new behind-the-scenes series on our farm.

Today I’m checking behind the planter looking at planting depth, seed-to-soil contact, and making sure we’re placing seed into moisture, even in a dry spring.

Everything can look good from the cab, but this is where you find out what’s really happening.

We also ran into a prescription issue that slowed us down, which is a good reminder that even when conditions are ideal, the little things still matter.

If you’re planting right now, it’s worth taking a few minutes to check behind your planter.
