Manitoba Agriculture says soybean harvest is about 13 per cent complete across Manitoba.
Dennis Lange is the province's pulse specialist.
"The early reports in the southern part, Altona, Letellier, Emerson, I'm hearing some very respectable numbers," he commented. "There's a lot of surprises. I'm hearing some 30 to 35 bushel yields, even some 40's. I've also heard in some of the really dry regions, in the Brunkild area, where the yields are in that 15 bushel per acre range...way too dry."
Lange notes Manitoba's dry bean harvest is about 30 per cent complete in the central region.
