Missing Man From The Pas Found
The province is warning that some insects are becoming active in the Northwest Part of Manitoba.
According to the provinces weekly crop report, flea beetles have been spotted in the Swan River Valley where feeding is occuring on volunteer canola seedlings.
Stephanie Jersak, farm production advisor with Manitoba Agriculture Food and Rural Development, says because of the dry conditions, producers should also be on the lookout for cutworms.
Jersak says if you notice plants missing or patches on a field, it wouldn't hurt to get there to scout around for cutworm activity.
