Canola swathing timing stressed by Canola Council expert
Nick Underwood of the Canola Council warns hot weather quickens seed colour change in canola, risking yield losses if swathing lags. He notes optimum swath timing at 30-40 percent colour change, with different targets for Argentine and Polish varieties, and advises checking moisture and green seeds before combining.

Manitoba Raises Feeder Association Lending Limits
Agriculture Minister Harry J. Enns announced higher caps for the Feeder Association Loan Guarantee Program. The program’s total lending limit rises to 5 million from 3 million, and individual producer limits increase to 125000 from 100000. The move aims to expand the Manitoba feeder cattle industry and support feeder associations financed by government guarantees. The program, started in 1991, now supports eight active associations with more potential, and MACC lending rules were revised to permit feeder associations for other livestock types.
