Ergot Infestation Hits Prairie Grain Across Manitoba
Agriculture Canada notes have reported ergot outbreaks in southern Manitoba, with wet seeding conditions boosting infections in red spring, amber durum, and utility wheats, plus feed barley. Ergot sclerotia replace kernels, lowering yields and risking rejection or downgrading of shipments. Fatally poisoning livestock is possible in severe cases, especially for pregnant or lactating animals.

Ergot infection risks from modern farming practices
Several current farming methods raise ergot risk. Harvesting leaves sclerotia in chaff and straw, shallow tillage allows soil sclerotia to germinate, and light or irregular seeding with mixed maturities causes uneven stands and late tillering, boosting infection chances. Contact local agricultural representatives for current control recommendations.
