Winter wheat harvest is basically completed. Quality was good and there were very few disease problems. Fusarium levels were very low this year. Straw yields are low as most of the crop did not get much height in the dry weather. Spring grain harvest has just started.
Early indication show both yields and quality to be good.
The elevators are reporting good bushel weights and yields slightly above average. Again straw yields are down this year because of the dry conditions. As with most of eastern Ontario both the corn and soybean crops could use a drink. Soil moisture conditions are at the critical stages across most of the region. There were some scattered showers on the 11th, but just enough to settle the dust.
