Ninety per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 83 per cent last week but remains behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 96 per cent for this time of year. Many areas received mixed precipitation that has stalled most harvest operations in the province. Producers remain hopeful that they will complete harvest this fall. Harvest progress was made in most regions last week. The west- central and northeastern regions are the most advanced with 96 per cent of the crop now combined. The south west and northwest regions have 90 per cent combined, the southeast region 88 per cent and the east-central region 82 per cent. Ninety-seven per cent of mustard, 96 per cent of canary seed, 94 per cent of barley, 93 per cent of chickpeas, 92 per cent of spring wheat, 90 per cent of durum, 88 per cent of canola, 76 per cent of soybeans and 62 per cent of flax are now in the bin. An additional six per cent of the crop is swathed or is ready to be straight-cut. Estimated average crop yields for the province are 38 bushels per acre for canola, 22 bushels per acre for flax, 1,024 pounds per acre for mustard, 28 bushels per acre for soybeans, 38 bushels per acre for durum, 45 bushels per acre for spring wheat, 66 bushels per acre for barley, 834 pounds per acre for canary seed and 1,420 pounds per acre for chickpeas.

Mixed precipitation consisting of rain and snow was received across most of the province last week. The Lake Lenore area reported 60 mm and the Rocanville area 42 mm. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 13 per cent surplus, 80 per cent adequate, five per cent short and two per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as six per cent surplus, 83 per cent adequate, nine per cent short and two per cent very short. Some fields remain saturated with excess water, particularly in southern and east-central regions. The majority of crop damage this past week was due to strong winds and frost. Geese and wildlife continue to cause damage by feeding on swathed crops. There also continues to be many reports of significant downgrading at the elevator due to sprouting. The crop is coming off is tough or damp and is being placed into aeration bins and grain dryers. Farmers are busy drying grain and hauling bales.

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

Good harvest progress was made in the southeastern region last week due to a few days of favourable weather. Eighty-eight per cent of the crop is now combined, up from 78 per cent last week but remaining behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 97 per cent for this time of year. An additional nine per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Though many producers in the region have wrapped up harvest operations, others will need several days in the field to wrap up. Producers remain hopeful that they can harvest the crop this fall still.

The region received mixed precipitation last week. The Lampman area received four mm, the Whitewood, Vibank and Indian Head areas 10 mm, the Moosomin area 15 mm, the Weyburn area three mm, the Regina and Moose Jaw areas five mm and the Ceylon area eight mm. The Moosomin area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (577 mm).

Topsoil moisture conditions have slightly improved in the region with the recent warm and windy weather, however many fields remain soft and saturated from excess moisture and are unable to hold heavy equipment for long periods of time. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated at 38 per cent surplus and 62 per cent adequate while hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are rated as 15 per cent surplus and 85 per cent adequate. Crop District 1A and 2A report that 50 per cent and 63 per cent, respectively, of the cropland have surplus topsoil moisture at this time.

The majority of crop damage this past week was due to strong winds. Geese and wildlife are feeding on swaths and crops continue to be downgraded at the elevator due to sprouting. Much of the grain is coming off tough or damp and is being placed into grain dryers and aeration bins.

Producers are busy moving cattle, drying grain, hauling bales and combining as weather and field conditions allow.

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 this past week. Ninety per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 88 per cent last week, nearing the five-year (2014-2018) average of 96 per cent for this time of year. An additional three per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Many producers in the region have completed harvest while others will need a good stretch of favuorable weather to get the remaining crop in the bin. Producers are hopeful that they will get a stretch of good weather this fall to complete harvest.

The majority of the region received mixed precipitation last week. The Vanguard area received 13 mm, the Mortlach area six mm, the Swift Current area 16 mm, the Tyner area eight mm, the Shaunavon area up to 14 mm and the Gull Lake area two mm The area southwest of Moose Jaw has received the most precipitation since April 1 (598 mm).

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as eight per cent surplus, 84 per cent adequate and eight per cent short while hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are rated as nine per cent surplus, 80 per cent adequate, nine per cent short and two per cent very short.

Strong winds caused the majority of crop damage this past week. Geese and wildlife are feeding on swaths while crops continue to be downgraded at the elevator due to sprouting. Much of the grain is coming off tough or damp and is being placed into grain dryers and aeration bins.

Producers are busy moving cattle, drying grain and combining as weather and field conditions allow.

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

The east-central region made significant harvest progress thanks to a few good harvest days last week. Eighty-two per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 66 per cent last week but remains well behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 95 per cent for this time of year. An additional 12 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Harvest progress varies in the region; While many producers are finished or have a few days left, others will need a stretch of a week or more to complete harvest. Many remain hopeful that they will be able to finish harvest this fall and not in the spring.

Mixed precipitation was received throughout the region last week with the majority being snow. The Rocanville area reported 42 mm, the Saltcoats area 8 mm, the Yorkton area 13 mm, the Ituna area 17 mm, the Raymore area 15 mm, the Foam Lake and Wynyard areas 7 mm, the Pelly, Bulyea and Allan areas 6 mm, the Kuroki area 4 mm and the Holdfast area 3 mm. The Lipton area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (625 mm) for both the region and the province.

Regionally topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 22 per cent surplus, 73 per cent adequate, four per cent short and one per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are rated as 12 per cent surplus, 81 per cent adequate, five per cent short and two per cent very short. Crop Districts 5A and 6A report that 30 per cent and 25 per cent, respectively, of the cropland has surplus topsoil moisture at this time. Some fields remain soft from excess moisture and are unable to hold heavy equipment for long periods of time.

The majority of crop damage last past week was due to strong winds and lodging. There are numerous reports from producers of geese and wildlife continuing to cause damage by feeding on swathed crops. There also continues to be many reports of significant downgrading at the elevator due to sprouting. Much of the grain is coming off tough or damp and is being placed into grain dryers and aeration bins.

Producers are busy drying grain and hauling bales.
