Maximizing corn yield potential isn’t just about choosing a top hybrid– it’s about understanding how that hybrid will respond when the season doesn’t go as planned. Whether you’re an expert or a newbie corn grower in 2026, understanding one detail can take your management to the next level. 

Curious what robbed yield from your crops this year? Find out more about how weather, diseases, and insects affected corn, soybeans, canola, and cereals!

This season has delivered impressive canola yields, but growers should not let that overshadow the underlying disease risks from late season infection.

Strong partnerships start at home. With Canadian-focused suppliers like Maizex, DSAG and Pitura Seeds are bringing locally proven corn genetics right to Manitoba fields—backed by trials, demos, and on-farm support.

Wild oat resistance is on the rise in Manitoba. UPL’s herbicide layering trials show how multiple timings and modes of action can boost control and help farmers stay ahead of this challenge.

SY Manness lived up to its “Racehorse” name in 2024, setting a new CWRS yield record on the Pitura Seed Farm at 100.3 bu/acre thanks to ideal growing conditions. While it won’t always be the top performer, its unique genetics make it a powerful yield-chasing option when the season lines up just right.

This article challenges growers to think beyond standard practices and consider integrated strategies for more effective FHB management - exploring how infection timing and weather trends influence disease severity and if current fungicide recommendations are good enough.

Do your soybeans look a little uneven this spring? Mother nature threw us some curveballs that didn’t help with even soybean emergence, but soybeans are resilient so no need to worry.

What are the nutrient losses associated with burning crop residues and what nutrient value is retained on the field in the form of ash?

Are you missing something your crops desperately need? While we focus on macronutrients, vital micronutrients like boron often go unnoticed—yet they play a powerful role in plant health, growth, and yield. Discover why boron might be the hidden key to unlocking your crop’s full potential.

Do you ever wish your agronomist would give you a better answer than “It depends”? Look no further! No service fee required to benefit from this valuable FREE agronomy advice generously shared by several Manitoba Agronomists.

By adjusting for seed size and targeting ideal plant stands, growers can improve variety comparisons, enhance yield potential, and even reduce seed costs.

A follow-up from last month’s Seed Perspective that provides more details about application methods and strategies for growers interested in experimenting with AMS on early-seeded soybeans.

Thinking you'll treat your seed this year? Make sure to think about the features of the seed treatment that will improve your yield and ROI.

In Ontario, the addition of AMS fertilizer on early seeded soybeans has shown yield increases of up to 20 bu/ac. Is the same response possible for Manitoba?

Struggling with unpredictable markets and rising costs? Corn grazing is a good way to lower costs compared to traditional feeding methods. Let's dive into some key factors that help make this form of grazing successful.

Improve moisture retention, reduce erosion, and boost biodiversity with cover crops. Discover simple ways to enhance your soil’s health and productivity year-round.

Many post-harvest conversations have posed the question “why didn’t my canola reach it’s full potential?” – Let’s dive into it.

Let's look into ways we can see what is going on under the soil and how our crops are being affected. Soil sampling and tissue testing are great ways to have an insight into what the crop is dealing with throughout the season.
