Event Description

Join Grey County SCIA for their Crop Walk on Tuesday July 18th 2023 at Ken Mitchell’s farm in Annan. The day will kick off with a gathering time at 9:30 am and the tour starting at 10:00 am. The morning will feature three soil pits, a cover crops discussion, and soil test results with SWAT mapping. More details coming soon regarding the afternoon portion of the tour.

Crop walks are an annual event for Grey Soil and Crop and play a critical part in the SCIA’s agenda of education, innovation, and knowledge transfer. They are an opportunity for farmers to get together with neighbours to share news or ideas and present a time when industry experts can be brought to the field for hands on learning.

Reach out to info@greyagservices.ca if you’d like more information, and stay tuned for updates to the schedule!

For some, the highlight of the day might be information shared by an expert. For others it might be catching up with a neighbour’s news over a pizza lunch and refreshments, sponsored by Midwest Co-op and Sprucedale Agromart. Whatever the draw, it promises to be a great day for all!
The crop walk is free for members of Grey County SCIA, and $10.00 for all others who would like to attend. They do ask for pre-registration in order to have accurate lunch numbers, so if readers are interested in joining in, please email: lorie@greyagservices.ca.

Saskatchewan Presses Ottawa to Act on Canola Anti-Dumping Duties

Saskatchewan leaders are urging swift federal action after China slapped steep anti-dumping duties on Canadian canola, threatening one of the province’s most important industries. Premier Scott Moe, along with Agriculture Minister Daryl Harrison and Trade Minister Warren Kaeding, met Thursday in Saskatoon with federal Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald, Parliamentary Secretary Kody Blois, and industry leaders to address the escalating trade dispute. China’s government imposed a 75.8% duty on Canadian canola seed earlier this month, in addition to existing 100% tariffs on canola oil and meal. The measures, widely viewed as retaliation for Canada’s tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, cut directly into Saskatchewan’s farm economy. “The Government of Saskatchewan condemns China's punitive tariffs on canola, which directly impact Saskatchewan families,” Moe said in a statement. “This is an urgent situation for producers, and we must work together to find immediate solutions.” Sa

Just Minor Progress for Alberta Harvest

Alberta producers made incremental harvest progress this past week, with just 2% of major crops in the bin as of Tuesday, a modest gain of one point from the previous week and well behind the five- and 10-year averages of 8% and 6%, respectively. The latest weekly crop report on Friday said regional progress is led by the South at 6% harvested as of Tuesday, supported by warm and dry conditions. The Peace Region follows at 4% complete, while all other regions remain below 2%. Notably, the Peace is slightly ahead of its historical average, while other regions trail seasonal benchmarks. Among major crops, dry peas are furthest advanced at 17% harvested. Barley sits at 3%, while spring wheat is at 1%. Oats and canola remain below 1%. Amid the sluggish start to harvest, crop conditions remain strong. The report said 64% of major crops were rated good to excellent as of Tuesday, holding steady from last week and well above the five- and 10-year averages of 50% and 55%. The Central Reg
