Up until this point, Manitoba's corn harvest has been moving along quickly.
Morgan Cott is an agronomy extension specialist with the Manitoba Crop Alliance.
"The grain that's coming off is looking pretty good," she said. "It looks like we have heavy bushel weights this year for whatever reason. There's some areas that are a little bit lighter but generally I'm hearing about heavier bushel weights, which actually we think may have been a result of those late August rains perhaps. Plants that have just grabbed everything they could get at that time and filled the grain above what normal bushel weight is."
Cott notes the rain over the weekend didn't really slow harvest early in the week, however the moisture that's expected over the next few days will have a greater impact in terms of slowing down progress.
