Manitoba Buckwheat Best in the West Tour Impresses Japanese Millers
A 90 percent of Japan buckwheat millers toured southern Manitoba fields and research plots in mid August organized by Manitoba Agriculture Marketing Branch. They praised Manitoba buckwheat as the best in the west and discussed breeding at Morden, Elm Creek, and Carman while outlining contracts with Mitsubishi and pricing from 3.25 to 4.00 per bushel.

Grain drying reduces grain spoilage risk in prairie storage
The article explains that grain moisture varies by harvest weather and time of day, creating uneven moisture in stored grain. High moisture pockets attract insects and molds, while dry grain suffers fewer problems. Temperature and moisture interplay drives germination, mold, and insect activity, with spoilage unlikely below 30 degrees F and specific organisms active within defined ranges.

Parasites trim weight gains in cattle on pasture
Lethbridge Alberta cattlemen could raise liveweight gains by over 20 percent in summer grazing with a fly control program, according to parasitologist Wib Haufe of Agriculture Canada Research Station. He notes horn fly infestations cut yearling gains within two weeks, with losses reaching 20 to 25 percent of potential growth May to October, affecting revenue or feed costs.

Harvest barley and flax yields vary this season
Combined early, crops held up despite heat and drought. Barley swathed and yielding about forty to fifty bushels per acre versus sixty expected. Spring wheat runs thirty to forty, other fields twenty to twenty five. Flax is five to ten bushels below normal, twenty five max. Weeds and wild oats remain a problem despite heavier spraying.

Storage types pros and cons for grain in prairie farms
The article reviews storage options for grain including steel granaries wood granaries barns open cribs and conical field piles. It notes defects that invite infestations such as cracked floors leaks insulation and poor ventilation and recommends weatherproof steel bins with reinforced floors and proper moisture barriers while cautioning against open cribs and uneven piles that foster damp spots and heating.
Safe Canning Guidelines for Fruits and Vegetables
Canning preserves high quality produce when plentiful by selecting firm ripe fruits and tender vegetables. Use airtight containers, process long enough at high enough heat to stop ripening and destroy pathogens. Fruits and tomatoes may be boiled in a water bath, but vegetables require a pressure canner. Never taste if abnormal, boil canned vegetables at least ten minutes before serving.
Preventing Stored Grain Insect Infestations on Farms
The article outlines how insects and mites attack stored grain from residues inside and outside granaries, with breeding in floor cracks, wall gaps, and dust on plates. It stresses prevention over costly control, recommending farm practices to safeguard grain stocks and reduce dockage by weed control in growing crops.
