Similar to Alberta, Saskatchewan received a snowstorm last weekend. Fortunately very little damage was reported since most of the crops were already harvested. Ninety-nine percent of the oilseed crops are harvested. A few fields of canola, flax and peas left to be harvested. Baling is complete.
Pastures are in poor conditions.
This region was hit by the early snowfall. The major perils for this region are drought, excessive rain, wheat midge, aphids, plant diseases, fusarium and anthracnose. Grasshoppers and Canadian thistles have also caused some problems. Crop yields and quality range from poor to good. However, a number of areas are, however, reporting above average yields.
