This warm weather is speeding corn emergence along. We're starting to see some solid plant counts coming through. Always a good sign to see the season really taking off🌽🌱
We finished planting all of our grain and silage corn trials last week. Dealt with dust storms and 80+km winds but seed got in the ground. Keep an eye out for results from @PRIDESeeds@MaizexWest and @NSGeneticsCA varieties in our trials from highway 1 to the US/Canada border.
In this #PituraPartners feature, we connect with @PRIDESeeds about what’s ahead for Manitoba growers.
A strong focus on agronomy and product placement is leading the way — using plot work and soil testing to better match hybrids to the right environments.
With new silage hybrids and earlier grain options in the mix, it’s shaping up to be an exciting season.
Because great seed starts with great partnerships.

Anyone have a flatdeck or tanker truck for sale? Ideally a triaxle. Last minute down a class one driver for this season so looking for options. TIA #agX#agtwitter retweets appreciated.
CDC Anson or CDC Byer?
In this #piturapartners feature with @FPGenetics, we compare two strong oat varieties - both with similar yield potential and disease package.
CDC Anson brings a shorter plant type with a big flag leaf, while CDC Byer offers more straw and adaptability in drier conditions.

Game one is officially underway for team Pitura at the Grain Challenge! 🏒🌾
Proud to be part of a great event supporting the Children's Wish Foundation - playing for a cause that truly matters.

Shout out to @covers_co, @DLFCAN and our growers for a great morning. Plant diversity, forages, livestock integration and profitability were hot topics today!
What does investment in Manitoba farmers look like?
In this #PituraPartners feature, @Maizex shares how they’re putting genetics to the test right here in our backyard.
With multiple research sites across the Red River Valley and into western Manitoba, Maizex evaluates pre-commercial hybrids in the environments where they’ll actually be grown — assessing yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and overall performance.

Is cereal seed treatment a cost… or protection for your yield potential? 🌾
With production costs rising and commodity markets soft, it’s tempting to trim expenses. But skipping seed treatment could mean exposing your crop to early-season disease and pest pressure.
We revisit the question: to treat or not to treat?

Why AAC Westking over Brandon or Starbuck? 🌾
In our latest #PituraPartners feature with @SeCan, we talk about what makes AAC Westking stand out in the Red River Valley.
With MR tolerance to Fusarium and some of the strongest straw in the CWRS class, AAC Westking delivers the combination many eastern Manitoba growers are looking for — standability and disease resistance.

Pod shatter - a question growers always ask.
In our latest #PituraPartners conversation with @canterraseeds, we talk about the improvements they're seeing in pod integrity across their newer varieties.
With CS4100 LL rating around 7–7.4 and CS4200 LL coming in at an 8 out of 10, these hybrids represent a significant step forward from earlier genetics — delivering strong pod integrity and confidence through harvest.
Because great seed starts with great partnerships.

Join us next week on Wednesday for our forage grower meeting! We’ll have @DLFCAN and @covers_co out to chat about forage blends, plant diversity and profitability. Please rsvp is you can make it!
