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. 

If history repeats itself, protecting cereal seed from seedling diseases in the 2025 season will be more crucial than it has been in the last 9 years.

Based on surveys in 2022, blackleg was detected in 85% of canola fields. Current disease pressure is steadily growing. Understanding management through genetic resistance is more important than ever!

With seeding/planting coming to an end and seed decisions finalized, we can think about how we will further supplement our crop with its nutrient’s needs.  Find out how split application in-season can increase your nitrogen on corn.

When striving to increase grain protein content in our spring wheat crops, how much influence does your management have on grain protein yield?

Research suggests that as many as 85% of grain farmers price their grain in the bottom third of the market. Is that true? Grain marketing is a challenge on many farms, how can you get better at it, what are the best resources and can you really trust your grain buyer?

With seeding potentially just around the corner, the topic of crop emergence must be brought up. The rate at which the seeds emerge after seeding, although far from harvest, can affect the yield of the crop significantly.

Seems like meteorologists have found a trustworthy crystal ball for forecasting a wetter than average summer in 2024! This article explains the weather phenomenon that consistently affects North American weather in a historically predictable way.

Syngenta’s traited corn called Enogen, helps convert starch to sugar more effectively than traditional corn silage, providing more readily available energy to beef and dairy. Read more about DSAG’S trial results, and why Enogen could be a great fit on your farm.

Dr. Barney Geddes from the Department of Microbiological Sciences at NDSU presented at the MAC 2023 to discuss his lab’s research and to pose the question of Effective vs Competitive Rhizobium. This article summarizes his presentation and its application in Manitoba.

Artificial Intelligence is all the rage these days but what does it actually mean for agriculture? ZoomAgri has developed machine learning technology that can determine seed varieties and grade for a fraction of the cost and quicker than our current testing practices. Click here to learn how it works.

While most of our growing season was dry this year, we did see an increase in PRR after one good rain shower, particularly in one field. So, what would have caused an increase in PRR on that field on the farm?

We’ve started seeing some Green Cloverworms at economical levels in soybean fields around the area. Some producers in the area are taking action to protect their soybean yield.  This is a new pest for me, so read on to find out what I’ve learned.
