The Saskatchewan harvest is well ahead of last year.
So far 16% of the crop is in the bin with another 19% laying in swath or ready to straight cut, up from last year at this time when only 2% of the crop was combined. Producers in the Southwest now have 33% of the overall crop in the bin.
Integrated Pest Management Specialist Brent Flaten breaks down the numbers for us.
"We're looking at about 95%of the winter wheat and fall rye combine, and a good start on the durum at 14% done. And mustard at 35% in the bin, and of course field peas and lentils are quite far along as well, at 79% and 70% respectively," he said.
