Weekend Frost Causes Significant Canola Damage

It was more bad news for canola producers over the weekend with severe frost blanketing many parts of Manitoba.
 
The most recent case of frost may turn out to be the most damaging, with reports that the temperature dipped down to minus nine in some areas of the province.
 
Angela Brackenreed is an agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada.
 
She expects a lot of reseeding will need to take place, however she says there is a chance producers will be able to recover.
 
"It is certainly really unfortunate, but on the bright side it's still relatively early and we've seen actually in Manitoba the past few years where those later seeded crops actually seem to have as good or better yield potential as the earlier seeded crops."

Video: How Does an Anhydrous Ammonia Applicator Work?

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
