Plump, wiggly slugs may look innocuous, but they can wreak serious havoc on a carefully-curated garden, even causing total crop failure.

Pulp egg cartons are made from paper pulp, water, and grass fiber, making them recyclable and biodegradable. They hold moisture while allowing drainage, breaking apart easily for planting.

The proposal would allow drones to apply products already registered for aerial use, provided applications follow existing label requirements, including water volumes and use conditions.

Richardson withdrew its funding from the Canola Council at the end of 2017. At the time, the company said it did not get enough value for its financial investment, which was over a million dollars per year.

"The awesome thing with pulse crops is no nitrogen needs... not having to put any nitrogen on a pulse crop is a great starting point," he says, noting that this allows growers to not only meet PKS requirements but, in some cases, build soil fertility for the rotation.

From a preliminary or initial assessment, there are things to like in terms of supporting Canadian Canola's access to the U.S. biofuels market moving forward for sure," Davison says. A central update confirms that feedstocks from U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) countries are considered domestic for the purposes of the credit. Davison called that clarification "one of the key updates as part of the guidance that is favourable in our case to Canadian Canola.

It's a big part of MCA. Our funding for wheat breeding is a big investment that we make on behalf of Manitoba producers and their check-off dollars. There's still going to be some ongoing. We're just trying to figure out what the effect these cuts are going to have on these programs and where we might have to step up.

Kochia continues to spread beyond its traditional areas, bringing resistance to multiple herbicide groups. This shift may require growers to rethink their canola systems, including variety selection.

"If Canada wants generational change in agricultural innovation, we need to transform our policy around how we fund plant breeding," he says. The current system, heavily reliant on public funding and check-off dollars, is increasingly under pressure. Reinheimer points to signs that Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) is shrinking its breeding footprint-especially in wheat, where AAFC varieties still account for about 80 per cent of acres. The problem? There's no updated funding model to match that shift.

For 30 years, InVigor hybrid canola has played a central role in advancing productivity and performance for canola growers around the world. This facility expansion marks the next chapter in that legacy, enhancing breeding capacity, integrating advanced automation, and accelerating the development of new hybrids.

If we did that today, it would be a hundred percent, because right now, without question, 2026 is riskier than 2025. So farmers really [face significant challenges]. The war in Iran continues and it works back to the world of agriculture. It's had an impact on fertiliser and diesel prices and commodity markets, as well as currency.

If you've got it severe enough it can be devastating and if not it can be managed... it just depends on where you are and what weather conditions you've had in the past and the amount of peas or lentils you've grown on those fields before.

Total wheat area is expected to dip 1.1% to 26.7 million acres in Canada. I have been hearing many growers say they like the idea of wheat's low input requirements, but market fundamentals are giving them pause when it comes to aggressively increasing acres.

If summer is for growing things, winter is for learning things.

Middleton owns and operates Manawan Mills, a feed mill operation that processes grain into complete livestock feeds for species ranging from poultry to cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. The mill sources most of its grain from nearby farms, often purchasing product that may be discounted at commercial elevators due to quality factors such as splits or lower test weight. Middleton says in this episode of Profitable Practices that those characteristics don't limit the grain's usefulness once it is processed.

According to the job posting, the successful candidate will serve as the lead provincial specialist for edible beans and edible oilseeds, including Identity Preserved (IP) soybeans, spring and winter canola, flaxseed, and sunflower. The role centres on technology transfer - developing and implementing strategies, policies, and programs - while coordinating projects that assess new and existing practices for their suitability under Ontario conditions. The specialist will also prepare and deliver educational tools, act as a liaison between the research community and industry, support policy and program development, and manage high-priority or contentious issues in the sector.
