2022

Moderator: Lionel Kaskiw, Ag Adaptation Specialist – Crops, Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development

Every season has its own set of growing conditions that create challenges for some and opportunities for others, and 2021 was one of those years when severe conditions prevailed. This panel of experts, each within their area of expertise, will explore the crop related challenges and opportunities a year like 2021 brought. What worked well, what didn’t and why? What can and cannot be managed to make your operation more resilient to such conditions? Is there a standard crop production recipe that can be applied no matter what or something better I need to know or do? Join this panel to explore those topics to learn and have some of your questions answered.

Flea beetles don’t seem to be going anywhere. The weather conditions experienced in 2021 favored flea beetle feeding and poor canola germination and growth. How can we get this small seed up and out of the ground, past the susceptible flea beetle feeding window in 2022? The panelists will highlight best management practices to keep flea beetles at bay, with a deep dive into seed treatment options, and how these products function under different scenarios.
