Seeding Operations In Full Swing in Alberta

May 18, 2021

Farmers and Ranchers would like to see some moisture to help with crop emergence and pasture growth.

Alberta's Weekly Crop Report from Friday shows provincially about 32 per cent of the crop was in the ground, up from 14 per cent the week before.

According to the report the South part of the province has about 55 per cent of the major crops in the ground, followed by the Central region at 32 per cent.

The North East, North West and Peace regions are now 23 to 17 per cent complete.

The report shows peas are leading the acre race for major crops, jumping 28 points over last week.

All regions are ahead of the five and 10-year statistics, as farmers have seen excellent seeding conditions across Alberta.
