Variety market share data from producer-provided 2021 Seeded Acreage Reports is now available. Have a look to see what the most popular varieties were in Manitoba this year. #AgTwitter #Data | bit.ly/MMPP_Home

FHB surveys are underway and we are looking for wheat and barley fields in the RM of Portage and Roblin, as well as barley in the RM’s of Hamiota, North Norfolk, and North Cypress Langford. If you have a field we can survey please send me a DM! @mallorielewarne

Good Monday morning! As #plant21 continues across MB, a reminder about this opportunity to look at factors limited CWRS yield potential. Reach out to @mallorielewarne or @ap_kirk to learn more! 👇👇👇

Attention MB farmers! We are looking for participants for a survey to ID factors limiting CWRS yield potential. The data will be used to conduct an in-depth analysis of which on-farm factors might be causing a yield gap in #wheat production. #AgTwitter ➡️ mbcropalliance.ca/news/cwrs-…

MASC data shows early seeding generally results in higher yields - spring cereal seeding started a couple of week ago in parts of MB and will ramp up again this week. Relative yield x seeding date info for all crops can be found at: gov.mb.ca/agriculture/crops/… #MBAg
