Sonia Wilson, an oilseed specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, says excess moisture continues to be a problem. Especially in wheat fields, you can see the bleaching in the low areas where we’ve had plants dying off. We also see low areas of canola, where we have carcasses, for example, and dead plants and some stress as well in our corn. Again, it’s a mixture of the low areas being really hit with the amount of rainfall that we’ve received. ~ Sonia Wilson, Manitoba AgricultureWilson says due to all of the moisture this will be a very high-pressure year for fungal diseases so farmers are busy scouting fields and spraying fungicides.
