Relatively warm and dry weather allowed for some producers to return to the field last week, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report. Sixty-nine per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 55 per cent last week but remaining well behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 88 per cent for this time of year. While many areas received mixed precipitation, others received very little and were able to spend more time in the field. The warm and dry weather forecast for next week will allow producers throughout the province to resume combining. Good harvest progress was made in many regions last week; the northeastern region is the most advanced with 85 per cent of the crop now combined. The west-central region has 77 per cent combined, the southwest region 76 per cent, the northwest region 65 per cent, the southeast region 62 per cent and the east-central region 51 per cent. Eighty-three per cent of the barley, 79 per cent of the mustard, 69 per cent of the canary seed, 68 per cent of the durum, 66 per cent of the spring wheat, 58 per cent of the canola and 43 per cent of the chickpeas are now in the bin. An additional 35 per cent of the canola is swathed or ready to straight- cut. Many areas of the province received moisture last week, with the Moosomin area reporting 40 mm of mixed precipitation. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 19 per cent surplus, 77 per cent adequate and four per cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 10 per cent surplus, 83 per cent adequate and seven per cent short. Some fields remain saturated with excess water, particularly in southern regions.

Most crop damage this past week was due to lodging, strong winds, localized flooding and frost. Geese and wildlife continue to cause damage by feeding on swathed crops. Reports continue of significant downgrading at the elevator due to crops sprouting. The majority of the crop coming off is tough or damp and is being placed into aeration bins and grain dryers.

At this time, most livestock producers indicate they have adequate supplies of hay, straw, greenfeed and feed grain heading into winter.

Farmers are busy drying grain, hauling bales and combining when they are able to.

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

Despite frequent precipitation and cooler weather conditions, harvest progress continues to be made in the southeastern region. Sixty-two per cent of the crop is now combined, up from 55 per cent last week but remaining well behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 91 per cent for this time of year. An additional 23 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. The region will need a good stretch of warm and dry weather in order to return to the field.

The region received several days of mixed precipitation last week, with the Moosomin area reporting 40 mm. The Frobisher area received three mm of precipitation, the Lampman and Redvers areas 20 mm, the Maryfield, Vibank and Radville areas 10 mm, the Broadview area 16 mm, the Tantallon area 25 mm, the Grenfell area 22 mm, the Weyburn area nine mm, the Odessa area 11 mm, the Regina area five mm and the

Ceylon and Moose Jaw areas eight mm. The Moosomin area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (562 mm).

Topsoil moisture conditions have become significantly worse in the region due to recent precipitation. 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 59 per cent surplus and 41 per cent adequate, while hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are rated as 32 per cent surplus, 67 per cent adequate and one per cent short. Crop District 1A and 2A are reporting that 70 per cent and 100 per cent, respectively, of the cropland have surplus topsoil moisture at this time.

The majority of crop damage this past week was due to lodging, localized flooding, strong winds and frost. 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.

At this time, livestock producers are indicating that they will have adequate supplies of hay, straw, greenfeed and feed grain heading into winter. However, some areas are reporting inadequate supplies of hay and straw, due in part to the inability to access fields at this time.

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

Less than ideal weather conditions continue to delay many producers in the southwestern region. Seventy-six per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 71 per cent last week but remaining well behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 93 per cent for this time of year. An additional 13 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. With warm and dry weather conditions in the forecast, many producers expect to be back in the field soon.

The majority of the region received very little precipitation last week, although the Mortlach area received 12 mm. The Big Beaver, Consul, Gull Lake and Admiral areas received one mm of precipitation, the Rockglen and Vanguard areas four mm, the Mossbank and Shaunavon areas three mm, the Webb area five mm and the Tyner area two mm. The area south-west of Moose Jaw has received the most precipitation since April 1 (589 mm).

Topsoil moisture conditions have slightly improved in the region due to the drier weather. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as nine per cent surplus, 88 per cent adequate and three per cent short while hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are rated as one per cent surplus, 90 per cent adequate and nine per cent short.

Lodging, strong winds and frost have caused the majority of crop damage this past week. 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.

At this time, livestock producers indicate that they will have adequate supplies of hay, straw, greenfeed and feed grain heading into winter. However, there are some areas of the region that may have inadequate supplies, due to challenging growing conditions this season.

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 is slowly making harvest progress when the weather allows. Cool and wet conditions have delayed combining but most producers expect to be back in the field in the coming days. Fifty-one per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 39 per cent last week but remaining well behind the five-year (2014-2019) average of 82 per cent for this time of year. An additional 25 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut.

Mixed precipitation was received by most areas in the region, with the Esterhazy area receiving 30 mm of moisture. The Langenburg area received 22 mm, the Lipton and Lumsden areas 10 mm, the Ituna area 12 mm, the Raymore area four mm, the Elfros and Allan areas three mm, the Smiley and Meacham areas nine mm, the Wynyard and Bethune areas two mm, the Craven area eight mm and the Stalwart area six mm. The Lipton area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (615 mm) for both the region and the province.

Topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 24 per cent surplus, 75 per cent adequate and one per cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are rated as 12 per cent surplus, 86 per cent adequate and two per cent short. Crop Districts 5A and 6A are reporting that 35 per cent and 24 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.

Most crop damage this past week was due to frost, strong winds and lodging. Other causes of damage include feeding from geese and wildlife and crop quality issues such as sprouting. Much of the grain is coming off tough or damp and is being placed into grain dryers and aeration bins.

At this time, livestock producers indicate that they will have adequate supplies of hay, straw, greenfeed and feed grain heading into winter. However, there are some areas of the region that may have inadequate supplies, mainly due to challenging growing conditions this season and inability to access fields.

West-Central Saskatchewan:

Crop District 6B – Hanley, Outlook, Loreburn, Saskatoon and Arelee areas Crop District 7A – Rosetown, Kindersley, Eston and Major areas Crop District 7B -- Kerrobert, Macklin, Wilkie and Biggar areas

Significant harvest progress was made this past week thanks to relatively warm and dry weather conditions. Producers in the region now have 77 per cent of the crop in the bin, up from 58 per cent last week and are getting closer to the five-year (2014-2018) average of 85 per cent for this time of year. An additional 17 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Many producers have indicated that as long as the warm and dry weather holds, they will be able to complete harvest operations in the next couple of weeks. Little to no precipitation was received across most of the region last week. The Eyebrow area received 10 mm of moisture, the Tugaske area eight mm, the Hanley and Kindersley areas two mm, the Perdue and Cando areas three mm, the Rosetown, Sonningdale and Biggar areas one mm and the Harris area four mm. The Tugaske area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (369.5 mm). Topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 87 per cent adequate and 13 per cent short while hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are rated as 78 per cent adequate, 20 per cent short and two per cent very short. Strong winds, lodging and frost were the main causes 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.

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

Thanks to warm, dry weather conditions, tremendous harvest progress was made this past week as producers combined almost one quarter of the crop. Eighty-five per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up significantly from 61 per cent last week and in line with the five-year (2014-2018) average of 87 per cent for this time of year. An additional 12 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. If the warm and dry weather holds, most producers expect to be done harvest in the coming weeks. Little to no precipitation was received in the region, although the Humboldt and Hudson Bay areas received three mm. The Bruno, Lake Lenore and Nipawin areas received two mm while the Arborfield area received one mm. The Hudson Bay area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (373 mm). Cropland topsoil moisture conditions are rated as six per cent surplus and 94 per cent adequate. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as three per cent surplus, 91 per cent adequate and six per cent short. Much of the crop damage this past week was due to strong winds, lodging and frost. Feeding from geese and wildlife have also caused some damage. Reports continue of 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.

At this time, livestock producers indicate that they will have adequate supplies of hay, straw, greenfeed and feed grain heading into winter.

Producers are busy applying anhydrous ammonia, drying grain and combining as weather and field conditions allow.

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

Lloydminster areas

Tremendous harvest progress was made this past week thanks to relatively warm and dry weather conditions. Producers were able to combine almost one quarter of the crop and now have 65 per cent of the crop in the bin. This is up significantly from 42 per cent last week but does remain behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 80 per cent for this time of year. An additional 29 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. The region will need several weeks of warm and dry weather in order to get the rest of the crop off.

While the majority of the region reported little to no rainfall, some areas received amounts that will delay further progress. The Pierceland area received 16 mm of precipitation, the Meadow Lake area ninr mm, the Barthel area 11 mm, the Turtleford area two mm and the St. Walburg area four mm. The Turtleford area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (434 mm).

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as five per cent surplus, 85 per cent adequate and 10 per cent short while hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as one per cent surplus, 88 per cent adequate and 11 per cent short.

Much of the crop damage this past week was due to strong winds and lodging. Geese and wildlife continue to feed on swathed crop and other crops have been damaged by sprouting and downgrading is expected at the elevator. Much of the grain is coming off tough or damp and is being placed into grain dryers and aeration bins.

At this time, livestock producers indicate that they will have adequate supplies of hay, straw, greenfeed and feed grain heading into winter.

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