Ground moisture is good in Temiskaming while Cochrane district remains wet with a high amount of unseeded acreage. Harvesting of forages was in full swing the week of the 3rd. First cut haylage is now complete and second cut has just begun in the early harvested fields. Alfalfa regrowth is now between 30-45cm high. Yields are generally very good while producers are waiting on their feed analysis to reveal the quality level.
Pastures are in good shape.
Spring grains in general are doing extremely well. Fields are uniform with good colour. Lodging is visible in some spring wheat and barley fields in Temiskaming following the isolated thunderstorms and hail. Weed control in general is good. Producers are asked to keep an eye out for armyworms.
