A Manitoba research farm is expanding by 6,000 acres, with a large swath dedicated to potatoes.
JP Wiebe Ltd. in MacGregor has joined the Innovation Farms network. Potato crops cover roughly 2,600 acres of its operation.
Enterprise Machine Intelligence and Learning Initiative (EMILI) already oversees research at a 5,500-acre commercial farm in Grosse Isle as part of Innovation Farms.
The MacGregor addition will allow for testing of technologies growing potatoes and related crop rotation and irrigation, EMILI announced, alongside representatives of Farm Credit Canada, on Tuesday.
