moisture is rated as 19 per cent surplus, 74 per cent adequate, six per cent short and one per cent very short. The majority of crop damage this past week was due to strong winds and frost. There continues to be many reports of crops sprouting, bleaching and staining and downgrading is expected at the elevator. Geese and wildlife are feeding on swathed crops and causing damage. Farmers are busy drying grain and waiting for the weather to improve so they can continue with harvest operations.

Southeastern Saskatchewan: Crop District 1 – Carnduff, Estevan, Redvers, Moosomin and Kipling areas Crop District 2 – Weyburn, Milestone, Moose Jaw, Regina and Qu’Appelle areas Crop District 3ASE – Radville, Minton and Lake Alma areas

Some harvest progress was made in the region last thanks to a few days of favorable weather. Fifty-five per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 46 per cent last week but well behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 87 per cent for this time of year. An additional 25 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Most of the grain has come off is tough or damp and being placed into dryers. A good few weeks of warm, dry and windy weather is needed to complete harvest.

Many areas received varying amounts of rain last week. Regionally, precipitation ranged from trace amounts to 20 mm in the Moosomin area. The Carnduff area received 11 mm, the Frobisher and Tantallon areas seven mm, the Alida and Glenavon areas four mm, the Weyburn and Radville areas two mm and the Indian Head area six mm. The Moosomin area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (522 mm).

Topsoil moisture conditions in the region improved this past week, but there are still reports of many saturated fields. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 31 per cent surplus, 46 per cent adequate and 23 per cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are rated as 41 per cent surplus and 59 per cent adequate. Crop District 1A is reporting that 33 per cent of the cropland and 60 per cent of the hay land and pasture currently has surplus topsoil moisture.

Most crop damage this past week was due to frost and strong winds. There continues to be many reports of downgrading at the elevator due to sprouting, bleaching and staining. There are also reports of piebald in some wheat crops and of geese and wildlife feeding on swathed crops.

Producers are busy drying grain and waiting for the weather to improve so they can continue harvest operations and fall field work.

Southwestern Saskatchewan: Crop District 3ASW – Coronach, Assiniboia and Ogema areas Crop District 3AN – Gravelbourg, Mossbank, Mortlach and Central Butte areas Crop District 3B – Kyle, Swift Current, Shaunavon and Ponteix areas Crop District 4 – Consul, Maple Creek and Leader areas

Producers in the southwestern region made some harvest progress last week. Seventy-one per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 68 per cent last week but remaining behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 89 per cent for this time of year. An additional 12 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Most of the grain that has come off tough or damp is being placed into dryers. A couple of weeks of warm, dry and windy weather is needed to get the rest of the crop off.

Small amounts of precipitation were received throughout some of the region. Precipitation ranged from trace amounts to 10 mm in the Gravelbourg area. The Fife Lake and Gull Lake areas received four mm and the Tyner area three mm. The area south-west of Moose Jaw has received the most precipitation since April 1 (579 mm).

Geese and other wildlife have also been feeding on swathed crops. Much of the crop that has come off is tough and is being dried as time and space permits.

Producers are busy drying grain and waiting for the weather to improve so they can continue with harvest operations and fall field work.

East-Central Saskatchewan: Crop District 5 – Melville, Yorkton, Cupar, Kamsack, Foam Lake, Preeceville and

Kelvington areas Crop District 6A – Lumsden, Craik, Watrous and Clavet areas

Another week of unfavorable weather conditions kept the harvest window to a few days last week. Despite the weather, producers in the region were able to get some crop harvested.

An additional 41 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Most of the grain that has come off is tough or damp and being placed into dryers. A long stretch of warm, dry and windy weather is needed to get the rest of the crop off.

In the region, precipitation ranged from small amounts to 16 mm in the Bethune and Elfros areas. The Rocanville area received 10 mm of rain, the Goodeve area nine mm, the Foam Lake and Pelly areas eight mm, the Earl Grey area seven mm, the Craven and Yorkton areas four mm and the area south of Humboldt three mm. The Lipton area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (605 mm) for both the region and the province.

The five-year (2014-2018) average is 79 per cent for this time of year. An additional 32 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Much of the grain that has come off is tough or damp and is being placed into grain dryers. Several weeks of warm, dry and windy weather is needed to continue with harvest progress and get the rest of the crop off. The region received little precipitation last week. The Langham and Sonningdale areas received four mm, while the Harris and Kerrobert areas reported one mm. The Tugaske area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (361.5 mm). Regionally, cropland topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 66 per cent adequate, 26 per cent short and six per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 76 per cent adequate, 23 per cent short and one per cent very short. The majority of crop damage this past week was due to frost and strong winds.

Producers are busy drying grain and waiting to continue harvest operations when the weather permits. Northeastern Saskatchewan:

Crop District 8 – Hudson Bay, Tisdale, Melfort, Carrot River, Humboldt, Kinistino, Cudworth and Aberdeen areas

Crop District 9AE – Prince Albert, Choiceland and Paddockwood areas

Another week of good harvest progress has the northeastern region in relatively good shape, with sixty-one per cent of the crop now combined. This is up from 50 per cent last week but behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 78 per cent for this time of year. An additional 32 per cent of the crop is now swathed or ready to straight-cut. Producers are harvesting most of the grain damp or tough and are using grain dryers to condition the grain for storage. The region will need several weeks of weather that is warm, dry and windy to continue with harvest progress and get the rest of the crop off. Very little precipitation was received in the region last week. The Tisdale area received six mm and the Bruno and Vonda areas two mm. The Garrick area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (371 mm).

Much of the crop damage this past week was due to strong winds and frost. Reports continue of downgrading at the elevator due to sprouting, bleaching and staining. Geese and other wildlife have also been feeding on swathed crops. Producers are busy drying grain and waiting for the weather to improve so they can continue with harvest operations and fall work. Northwestern Saskatchewan:

Crop District 9AW – Shellbrook, North Battleford, Big River and Hafford areas Crop District 9B – Meadow Lake, Turtleford, Pierceland, Maidstone and

Lloydminster areas

Despite unfavorable weather throughout the week, producers in the region were able to make some progress in the field. Forty-two per cent of the crop is now combined, which is up from 34 per cent last week but remaining well behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 73 per cent for this time last year. An additional 49 per cent of the crop is now swathed or ready to combine. Producers in the region are using grain dryers as much of the grain that has come off is tough or damp and will need to be conditioned for storage. The region will need several weeks of dry and windy weather to continue with harvest progress and get the rest of the crop off.

Little precipitation was received in the region last week. The Duck Lake, Mayfair and Meadow Lake areas received two mm and the Spiritwood and Pierceland areas eight mm. The Turtleford area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (434 mm).
