Oat Procurement Program and pulse crop research

Richardson Pioneer will be implementing a new Oat Procurement Program next year. The company does not want growers to use pre-harvest desiccants. This is not a new concept. Grain Millers stopped buying pre-harvest glyphosate treated oats five years ago. Jenneth Johanson is President of the Prairie Oat Growers Association. She talks about how this will impact oat farmers decisions in the next growing season   There will be some major changes coming to pulse crop research over the next few years. A funding agreement between Saskatchewan Pulse Growers and the University of Saskatchewan's Crop Development Centre will end in September. Saskatchewan Pulse Growers Director of Research and Development Dave Greenshields will tell us how the changes will affect farmers and the ways they will benefit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
