Wild Oat Problem Costly to Farmer
About 200 farmers heard Gerald Cobbe of the Canada Grain Commission describe the high cost of wild oats to growers. He warned that when oats enter the system the producer bears cleaning, transporting and storage costs, with total losses surpassing 40 million dollars. The weed’s persistence, early maturity, and seed dormancy complicate control, and experts urged clean seed and research backed strategies, including crop rotation and careful tillage practices.

Grazing Land Fees Doubled In Manitoba
The Manitoba government doubled crown grazing land rental fees this year to cover higher administration costs. Minister Uskiw cited beef price rises and a 7.5 percent royalty rate increase as drivers. Liberal Izzy Asper questioned the moves in the legislature and noted rental hikes have surged in four years. The rates depend on stocker prices at Winnipeg stockyards, grazing gains, royalty, and land capacity.
