Insects in stored grain and a Manitoba zero till seminar
John Patterson reports insects in grain piles due to warm weather and notes control limits with bin loading, outdoor temperatures and cold that can stop beetle reproduction. He describes De and Protect It products, grain temperature targets, and phased cooling for beetle kill, then outlines a Manitoba seminar on Roundup Ready crops and zero till agriculture with debate on future systems. He closes with guidance on cow lease arrangements and a budgeting example for owner operator shares.
