Alberta Crop growth appears to be good for most regions except the Peace River district which is experiencing its second consecutive drought period. A late fall is required to allow adequate time for crops across the province to mature. Saskatchewan Crop progression is generally 1 to 4 weeks behind normal due to frequent rainfalls across the province except for the northwest region which is experiencing drought.
Producers are concerned with the spread of disease.
Manitoba Conditions across the province were warm and dry in the last two weeks. Crop development has improved. Producers have started working the unseeded land impacted by the excess precipitation. Except in isolated areas, most crops are on schedule with average to above average yields expected. However, spring grain yields will likely be below average this year due to the dry spring conditions.
