CSGA is deeply concerned by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s decision to close seven federal research facilities. While the closures may deliver modest savings, the downstream impacts risk undermining Canada’s seed system, crop innovation, and long-term competitiveness.

Our winter wheat has some unwanted visitors this year. Guess the sprayer guy won't be getting the weekend off after all.

This month marks 20 years that Jen Seward has been serving @seedmanitoba as our Executive Director! On behalf of the MSGA, I want to say “thank-you”. Her passion for seed is a great example of a bright future ahead!

One of the many opportunities in the near future to get informed about this very important vote to help direct the future of Canada’s Seed Industry.

@TylerWist1 @gurcharn_brar @Smithfamilyseed Yes we did have armyworms but I never noticed much damage. Seems like a fair number to me but maybe just because they are really noticeable when walking the fields.

[Tracy Court @TLCourt]

Can anyone tell me what insect lays these white egg clusters? Finding them stuck to the awns of all my wheat and barley fields.

[Tracy Court @TLCourt]

@haleycatton @BoychynJeremy @ABbugcounter @FieldHeroes Yup that's definitely what it is. Thanks!

[Tracy Court @TLCourt]

@schroeds98 @DavidSwanton3 @Smithfamilyseed Cool, thanks! I also saw some melted looking armyworms in the same field. Pretty sure you're right.

All Manitoba Farmers have a good read over these new purposed drainage regs https://t.co/mPFk7VdkjN

How do you feel about paying $6000 dollars and acre to farm your own property?

[Tracy Court @TLCourt]

@adrienneivey I would not be opposed to storing water on land that has traditionally been too wet to farm, but I would never consider using good farm land for water storage just to appease those who resist drainage. Preserving our viable farm land has to be number one priority.

[Tracy Court @TLCourt]

@FarmLifeMB Jeez you guys are ambitious! We don't even think about cleaning until after harvest is finished.

[Tracy Court @TLCourt]

First load of #Emerson winter wheat is out the door! Hoping we can empty a few bins this year to make room for harvest.

[Tracy Court @TLCourt]

@Pituraseeds @Seedgrowers We were doing the same thing today in our wheat plots. Most people will never know the fun of roguing fields!

[Tracy Court @TLCourt]

Field signs are all up for our @courtseeds crop tour next week. Crops are looking great, hope everyone can make it out!

[Tracy Court @TLCourt]

It's 3:00 pm and 30 °C out, yet crop canopy is soaked. If you aren't spraying for disease, you should be. #sclerotinia #spray17

Who needs to lift weights when there's rocks to pick #professionalrockpicker #myotherotherjob

[Tracy Court @TLCourt]

I love the little treasures you can find out in the field. #oldyardsite #scout17
