Quick crop establishment lowers flea beetle risk. Growers responding to a Canola Council of Canada survey indicated flea beetles were the number one economic risk to canola last year . . . as well as 2022 and 2020.Flea beetle populations vary from year-to-year . . . but seeding depth and weather are the two main variables. Keith Gabert is an agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada. He shares some tips for canola growersAdd the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association to the list of farm groups surprised by Heath MacDonald's appointment to federal agriculture portfolio.

Corteva Agriscience announced its new brand, Trusource™ wheat, a high fiber durum that can help meet consumers' needs for increased dietary fiber through use in high-volume foods such as pasta. Trusource wheat will be available to food companies to trial in product development and evaluation in late 2024, with North American commercialization plans for farmers to be announced in the coming years.Tyler Groeneveld is the North American Director for value added ingredients at Corteva Agriscience.He says its important because fiber is the most under-consumed macronutrient and there is a direct correlation between low fiber and chronic inflammation, leading to many human health issues. Hot summers may be great for your time at the lake but very hot temperatures can cause stress in crops, especially flowering canola. Curtis Rempel, vice president of crop production and innovation with the Canola Council of Canada says when the temperatures are in the 30's, it's especially hard on flowering canola plants. The crop at flowering is when the pollen is produced, the canola gets pollinated and seeds start forming. When you have high heat levels, when the crop is starting to flower, you get the pollen dying because of the heat.Then the flower does not get pollinated and it gets blasted off or falls off, and the farmer loses that yield potential they would have otherwise had.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cereals Canada recently released its annual report and announced the national cereal grain value chain organization want a new facility that would serve as the hub for Canada's grain industry, promoting the use of Canadian crops around the world.That new $100 million facility would be built in downtown Winnipeg and would be branded as the Global Agriculture Technology Exchange (GATE.) Cereals Canada CEO Dean Dias will talk about the report and share why this new building is needed.Farmers and agronomists scout for signs of sclerotinia in canola fields following a wetter than normal spring and early summer. The challenge is determining the economic threshold for spray treatments. The Canola Council of Canada has developed a new online tool to assist with the decision. It is available at CanolaCalculator.ca,Chris Manchur with the council says the sclerotinia risk assessment tool offers both a recommendation about whether or not to spray a canola crop based on information provided by the user and rating sclerotinia severity at maturity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When it comes to seed-placed fertilizer, canola can be quite sensitive.

The first revision of the Prairie Nutrient Removal Calculator in more than 20 years is now available online for producers and agronomists.The updated version covers more crops, 15 in total, as well micro-nutrients boron, zinc, and copper. It was a three-year process covering 2020, 2021 and 2022Dr. Fran Walley, along with Dr. Rich Farrell are the research scientists with the University of Saskatchewan leading the effort. They'll talk about their work. Several government departments, consultations, and decisions are converging to clear a path for gene-editing technology to be approved as a breeding technique for conventional crops. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada minister Marie-Claude Bibeau announced that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency would move forward with Part 5 of the Seed Regulations, in line with Health Canada's decision a year ago. That decision set out that gene-editing was considered “non-novel” and would be treated as such through the regulatory system. Jim Everson with the Canola Council of Canada will talk about the updated guidance and how this will be beneficial to farmers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
