Crop prices varied dramatically throughout 2024. The agriculture portion of the Saskatchewan government website has graphs of farm gate grain prices over time. Note that prices vary from one location to another each day and also vary geographically depending upon access to processing facilities. However, the graphs show the relative ups and downs. Canola hit […]

Herbicide carryover risk will not be as great as the past few years due to some decent spring rainfall. However, the risk is greater for in-season crop applications due to a sharp reduction in rainfall from July onward. The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture has released the herbicide carryover maps for pre-seed, early in crop and […]

Saskatchewan is ending 2024 on a better note than it began. Monthly weather stats from Environment Canada showed January flip-flopped from very cold to warm, February was warmer and drier than normal, leaving little to no snow before warming up in March. May and June had lots of much-needed rain for producers after a dry […]

A three-year research project produced some promising results controlling kochia by burying the pesky weed before it could mature into a tumbleweed and move long distances. The work was led by Shaun Sharpe, an Agriculture Canada weed scientist in Saskatoon. Sharpe worked with six producers around Last Mountain Lake, about an hour north of Regina, […]

There have been some notable trends in fall and winter feed test results to date. Environmental factors during the growing season such as temperature, available moisture, and soil nutrients all contribute to forage quality. When conditions are warm and water is available, plants grow quickly, accumulating fibre and advancing in stage of maturing. If water […]
