Did you know the strongest corn in Manitoba is the Northern Flint, known for its high yields and resistance to insects and frosts?
Corn is a staple food and cereal grain grown in many parts of the world because of its ability to adapt to different climates. In addition, corn is a popular crop for silage, which is used to feed animals.
The Foundations of Manitoba Agriculture is a series of interactive courses and information sheets that invite you and your students to explore the different crops grown and animals raised in Manitoba.
Making the connection between food and where it comes from can lead to healthier eating choices and a better appreciation for agriculture and it's role in feeding the world.
