Quote-Sonya Wilson-Manitoba Agriculture:
We were sitting at about 29 percent last week and we have moved forward to about 40 percent harvested across the province. The region that's furthest along is the central region at this point, sitting at about 51 percent.Across all regions we do have winter wheat and fall rye being done as well as the field pea harvest done as well.
It's been focussed on spring wheat with that short week here coming to a close as well as barley and oats. Then next up will definitely be canola if they haven't started already and dry beans and then we'll be looking at soybeans.In terms of where we're sitting at in comparison to other years. I think we are pretty average at this point.
