It will be another couple of weeks before yield and grade information on this year's crop is available. However, the killing frosts of the last week have shut down the plants and it is yet to be seen how much of the late-planted crop will be worth harvesting at all. Harvest is continuing. Harvesting of red spring wheat and canola in the New Liskeard area has been seriously delayed by wet weather. The 2000 harvest is complete.
Harvest is complete and yields are variable.
Early planted winter barley is starting to emerge and can be rowed in the field. Two nights of heavy frost this past week will shut down the corn plant and some acres will not mature. Maturity currently ranges from fully dented to yellow kernels. Premature drying is occurring due to rust and stalk rot. This will result in lighter bushel weight corn and lower than expected yields.
