Quote-Mackenzie Hladun-Saskatchewan Agriculture:
Right now, our crop is still rated as mostly fair to good condition however they were rated for conditions a couple of weeks ago.
What we are seeing is that producers are mostly working on taking off their winter cereals and pulse crops this past week.
Fall rye is the most advanced with 42 percent of the crop off.
Winter wheat is currently 15 percent harvested for the year as well.
We're seeing that field peas are the most harvested for the spring seeded crops with 22 percent of this year's crop harvested already and lentils are not far behind with 17 percent of the crop in the bin.
In general harvest is just beginning for our oilseed crops as well such as canola, flax, mustard and soybeans.
