Here are some shots of our spring wheat YEN (yield enhancement network) sites from throughout the year. If you are interested to learn more about the YEN program come out to our field day next Thursday! @mb_cropalliance @GreatLakesYEN mbcropalliance.ca/event-listing/…

Pop quiz! This corn is showing classic nutrient deficiency symptoms - what nutrient is it deficient in?

Always good to brush up on identifying weeds in the Amaranth Family! A good identifying feature: if it has hairs on the stem, it’s redroot pigweed, if it has a smooth stem, it’s another species. In Manitoba, unfortunately that usually means waterhemp.

MCA is turning five! 🎂 Join us and @AAFC_Canada in August to celebrate this important milestone and mark 100 years since the establishment of the dominion rust research lab. Learn more: ow.ly/tKbA50VYVeZ #cdnag #westcdnag #MbAg

Checking out one of MCA’s Winter Wheat Research On the Farm seeding rate sites. Awns are visible on most plants and also seeing the first spikelets on a few.   Looking forward to seeing the results from all trial sites across Manitoba!#MbAg @mb_cropalliance

Spring plant counts in wheat and barley helps assess seed germination, emergence, mortality, and if you are hitting your target plant population! Use this article for a step-by-step guide to conducting plant counts #MbAg @mb_cropalliance mbcropalliance.ca/directory/prod…

Grass weeds are so tricky to identify when they’re small. Sometimes it can be helpful to carefully dig up the seedling and see if the seed is still attached! Can you ID these 2? Some hints: Left: Auricle ✅ Membranous Ligule ✅ Right: Auricle ❌ Membranous Ligule ✅

Always interesting to see the developmental differences between winter wheat vs spring wheat at this time of year. If you have any production questions about either spring or winter wheat reach out or check out MCA’s website. mbcropalliance.ca/production/
