Saskatchewan Agriculture's latest crop report shows 96% of the provincial crop is now combined. Harvest is 91 per cent complete in the northwest, 92 per cent in the east central region, 93 per cent in the northeast, the southeast and west-central regions are at 98 per cent, while harvest in the Southwest is at 99 per cent complete. Crops Extension Specialist Sara Tetland says 99 per cent of chickpeas and barley, 97 per cent of spring wheat, 95 per cent of oats, 92 per cent of canola, 86 per cent of flax and 81 per cent of soybeans have been combined. She says yields are around average and are similar to what was reported in early September. "Provincially yields are being estimated as 46 bushels per acre for hard red spring wheat, 38 bushels per acre for durum, 66 bushels per acre for barley, 36 bushels per acre for canola, 39 bushels per acre for field peas and 1,487 pounds per acre for lentils." She notes there were some reports of yield loss caused by lack of moisture and high temperatures earlier in the summer. When it comes to quality this week's crop report look at spring wheat, with 64 per cent of the crop coming in at 1 CW, 29 per cent 2 CW, six per cent 3 CW and one per cent grading feed. She says once the harvest is wrapped up farmers would like to see some moisture. "Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 31 per cent adequate, 41 per cent short and 28 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 22 per cent adequate, 36 per cent short and 42 per cent very short." According to the report most of the crop damage this past week was caused by the wind blowing swaths around, waterfowl and wildlife damage. There was also signs of damage in the crop from the earlier dry conditions, frost and hail. Source - https://swiftcurrentonline.com
