Weeded shelterbelts: methods to control weeds in woodlots
Agriculture notes weed control during shelterbelt and woodlot establishment. Small-scale hand weeding and cultivators help, but between-row weeds may use a Weed Badger or mulching options. Chemicals like trifluralin, linuron, paraquat, and glyphosate require caution. mulch types including flax shives and plastic or woven fabric barriers offer protection and moisture retention. Contact local Agro Woodlot Technicians or PFRA Shelterbelt Centre for procedures and rates.

Protein premiums fall short for wheat growers says WCWGA
Larry Maguire of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association criticizes the four protein premiums set by the Canadian Wheat Board and Western Grain Elevator Association for No 1 CWRS, advocating a 1 percent increment to reflect actual grain protein and reduce segregation costs. He notes the new scheme may improve payments but still misses growers' needs and calls for a system aligned with protein content and farm economics. The WCWGA is Western Canada's largest non profit farm group championing market driven agriculture.
