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/

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 βœ… Membranous Ligule βœ… Right: Auricle ❌ Membranous Ligule βœ…

Manitoba Crop Alliance Canola Growers MPSG Manitoba Agriculture 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.
