Crop Report for the Period May 13 to May 19, 2025

Seeding in Saskatchewan is nearly three-quarters complete with 72 per cent of crops now planted, which is an increase of 23 per cent from last week. This is a smaller increase than the week prior, which is largely due to rain delays in parts of the south and east regions of the province. Seeding progress remains notably higher than the five-year average of 60 per cent and 10-year average of 64 per cent. Producers in the southwest are in the home stretch of seeding with 89 per cent of crops currently seeded in this region. Progress in the northwest and west-central follow closely with 81 per cent of crops now seeded in these regions. Producers in the northeast made good progress this week as seeding progress in this region sits at 74 per cent. Seeding progress in the southeast and east-central are below the provincial average. Seeding in the southeast is 63 per cent complete, while the east-central region has the smallest percentage of current seeded acres with progress currently sitti

Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Tax Credit

2024 Tax Credit – 14% of MPSG check-off Farmers who contribute check-off dollars to the Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers (MPSG) are eligible to claim a federal tax credit through the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program. The tax credit is based on the amount of check-off funds invested in research and development that meet specific criteria set out by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). For the 2024 tax year, 14% of the Manitoba pulse check-off qualifies for the SR&ED tax credit. Farmers can calculate their total check-off contribution by referring to their pulse and soybean sales receipts. Of this total, 14% is eligible to earn an investment tax credit for 2024. As an individual, farmers can claim this tax credit up to a maximum of 15% while corporations are able to claim at the rate of 35%. To claim the federal tax credit on your tax returns, you must file a T2038 (IND) for farm proprietorships or a T2SCH31 for farm corporations. Click here to see exampl

Dry Bean Research Update

Nitrogen Fertilization Dry beans are relatively poor N-fixers, producing less than 45% of their N requirement. Nitrogen uptake rates in dry beans range from 3.9-4.7 lbs N/cwt of seed, meaning a 2000 lbs/ac dry bean crop would require 78-90 lbs N/ac. This nitrogen may come from a combination of residual soil N, biological N fixation and N fertilizer. As fertilizer nitrogen rate applied increases, nodulation decreases since plants become ‘lazy’ and rely on soil nitrogen alone. In 4 out of 6 on-farm trials, good to excellent nodulation was found to occur when N rates applied were below 70 lbs N/ac. In small-plot trials, nodulation has generally been less than with on-farm trials. On-farm trial yield responses to different nitrogen rates have been inconsistent. At four trials, there was no yield response to different N rates and at two trials there were opposite responses. At one, the highest rate of N (140 lbs N/ac applied) reduced yield, while at another, the highest rate of N applied
