Seeding and Re-seeding of Canola Finished

Seeding and Re-seeding of Canola Finished

Late seeding in parts of Manitoba and re-seeding of canola due to frost across western Canada continued last week but is now complete. Excess moisture has prohibited seeding in parts of northwestern Manitoba (near Sifton, Ethelbert, Gilbert Plains and Grandview) and in the northern Interlake where it is estimated that 65 to 75% of acres remain too wet to seed. Any seeding occurring after today will likely be to a crop for use as greenfeed.
