Saskatchewan harvest 73 per cent complete, according to crop report
“Certainly a lot of progress for sure, but not as much of a jump as maybe some people would have expected,” crops extensions specialist for the ministry of agriculture Matthew Struthers said.
Harvest is most advanced in the southwest region where 96 per cent of the crop is now combined. The west-central region has 89 per cent combined and the southeast 65 per cent. The northwest region has 63 per cent of crop combined, while the northeast only has 58 per cent and the east-central 52 per cent.
Concerns about field and equipment fires have eased and there is hope that the rain will be enough in some areas to allow pastures a little regrowth. The Pelly area received 44 mm, the Melfort and Moosomin areas 30 mm, the Lipton area 13 mm, the Rosetown area nine mm and the Vanguard area four mm.Provincial cropland topsoil moisture is rated as one per cent surplus, 37 per cent adequate, 40 per cent short and 21 per cent very short.
