Pulse Canada: India's import duty on peas not good, but not surprising

While he wasn't expecting India to place a 30 per cent duty on all yellow pea imports, including those from Canada, on November 1, Greg Cherewyk said they've been aware India was thinking about it for a while. The President of Pulse Canada said there had been rumours the country was considering an import duty since early September. A news report from India around that time said the Indian Pulses and Grains Association wanted the government to impose a duty between 30 and 50 per cent. A spokesperson for the group said at the time the duties were needed in anticipation of large pea production from Canada and Russia as well as to protect domestic farmers. Cherewyk believes the decision was based on domestic politics rather than international politics. "So the Indian government puts in place these measures as a direct result of conditions within India. and those conditions include domestic prices to Indian farmers of the types of crops that might be impacted by imports, inventories w

Choosing the Right Winter-Feeding Strategy: Pros & Cons

Winter-feeding is one of the largest costs for cow-calf producers in Canada. How this period is managed can make a big difference in both herd health and an operation’s bottom line. From extended grazing systems to feeding stored forages, each method has its strengths and challenges. The right strategy depends on the operation, available resources and winter conditions. Regardless of the system chosen, taking the time to test feed, balance rations and score body condition regularly will help make the most of your winter-feeding program. Here’s a look at some common winter-feeding strategies, with the pros and cons of each and links to Beef Cattle Research Council resources where you can learn more. Extended Grazing Systems Letting cows graze stockpiled grasses, swaths and crop residues in the field rather than harvesting and feeding daily. Pros: Lower feed, fuel and equipment costs Manure is deposited directly onto land, improving soil fertility Less daily feeding labour co

2025 Canola Variety Evaluation Trials preliminary data is here!

The Manitoba Canola Variety Evaluation Trials (CVET), now in its second season, are run by the Manitoba Canola Growers Association (MCGA) to provide farmers with independent third-party testing data for commercial canola hybrids. All seed companies were approached to enter varieties into the program, with 2025 trials grown at eight different testing locations across Manitoba: Carman, Hamiota, Holland, Melita, Morden, Morris, Swan River and Arborg. The Roblin location was unfortunately cancelled, suffering an untimely flush of green foxtail at the beginning of canola flowering. Separate trials were conducted for each herbicide tolerant systems (Liberty Link and Roundup Ready/TruFlex) and all varieties were desiccated and straight cut. The check variety for each respective trial was chosen based on the highest market share of entered varieties based on the 2025 MASC Variety Market Share Report.
