Winnipeg – Saskatchewan farmers were able to get out in the fields and get some of the crop off over the last week, according to the provincial crop report released Oct. 11.
Seventy-eight percent of the crop is now harvested as of Oct. 8, which is up from the previous week where 73 percent of the crop was done. However, it is still well behind the five-year average of 84 percent.
The canola harvest did see some progress, with 61 percent of the crop now in the bin, compared to 52 percent last week. Eighty-five per cent of durum, 81 percent of barley, 80 percent of mustard, 65 percent of spring wheat, 36 percent of flax and 30 percent of the soybeans have now been combined. The report said most crops are coming off tough or damp and are being placed in dryers.
