Manitoba and Canada expand winter wheat insurance
Winter wheat planted in fall 1985 will be insurable under the Canada Manitoba Crop Insurance Program. Federal Agriculture Minister John Wise and Manitoba Agriculture Minister Bill Uruski announce that insuring growing acres is a logical expansion. Farmers must register by August 31 and seed by September 15. Insurance is a joint federal provincial program with 1984 costs noted.

Farmers To Consider Growing Winter Wheat
Agriculture researcher Dr. Elmer Stobbe of the University of Manitoba advises grain farmers to consider winter wheat for higher yields and similar prices to spring wheat. He emphasizes zero tillage, snow cover, drainage, disease prevention, seed choice, seeding timing from August 26 to September 15, and specific practices including rotation, seed depth 1.25 to 2.5 cm, seed rate 90 kg per hectare, fall phosphate, cautious nitrogen, and fall herbicide use to combat weeds and diseases.
