	Investor's Business Daily: Breaking News
		WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, Jun 13, 2005 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) -- According to research conducted by Ipsos-Reid on behalf of Agricore United (AULV), many western Canadian grain producers may not be spending enough time scouting their fields during the growing season.
		The research results also suggest that when growers do scout, they look primarily for weeds and do not pay enough attention to other yield robbers such as insects and diseases that could be affecting their crops.
		Denise Maurice, Agricore United's Crop Protection Technical Development Manager, says typically an experienced field scout will take at least three hours per 80-acre field to effectively scout and diagnose weed, insect and disease issues.
