Taking a page out of @dane_froese book and sharing some of the factsheets created for @MBAgDays. First up is Crop Rotation Planning. If you'd like a pdf DM me with your email.

Crop rotation tables have been updated with most current harvest production report data - check the tables out when planning next years crop rotation
We recently added five years of data to the MMPP crop rotation tables. Check out the 2011-20 results and find out which crops grow best on specific types of stubble. #MBAg | bit.ly/MMPP_Crop_Rotations

Interesting to see which varieties covered the most acreage in 2021
Top cereal varieties (% marketshare):
Wheat - AAC Brandon (52%)
Oat - Summit (33%)
Barley - CDC Austenson (36%)
Grain corn - P7211AM (16%)
Hybrid fall rye - KWS Bono (34%)
Winter wheat - Emerson (35%)
Variety market share data from producer-provided 2021 Seeded Acreage Reports is now available. Have a look to see what the most popular varieties were in Manitoba this year. #AgTwitter #Data | bit.ly/MMPP_Home

Yield estimates can be done when corn is in or past the milk stage. For a guide on estimating grain corn yields: gov.mb.ca/agriculture/crops/…

Wondering how these hot and dry temperatures are impacting wheat and corn? The growth stage of the crop can give insight into which yield components may be impacted: gov.mb.ca/agriculture/crops/…

Good Monday morning! As #plant21 continues across MB, a reminder about this opportunity to look at factors limited CWRS yield potential. Reach out to @mallorielewarne or @ap_kirk to learn more!

Attention MB farmers! We are looking for participants for a survey to ID factors limiting CWRS yield potential. The data will be used to conduct an in-depth analysis of which on-farm factors might be causing a yield gap in #wheat production. #AgTwitter

MASC data shows early seeding generally results in higher yields - spring cereal seeding started a couple of week ago in parts of MB and will ramp up again this week. Relative yield x seeding date info for all crops can be found at: gov.mb.ca/agriculture/crops/… #MBAg
