Minnedosa farmer sticks to growing winter wheat
Minnedosa farmer Bob McNabb plans 120 acres of winter wheat this fall despite severe rust and leaf disease. He compares Norstar and rust resistant varieties, notes two Dithane M-45 sprays and costs, and projects a 40 bushel per acre yield with risks tied to grain price and grade. He halves his winter wheat area due to crop rotation and hopes for better fungicides or resistant strains next year.
