While some farmers have already begun harvesting, other producers are getting ready to harvest in the coming weeks.

Some Saskatchewan farmers are anticipating a start to the harvest of winter cereals and earlier seeded crops in the coming weeks.

Saskatchewan Agriculture said despite damage due to rain, hail and flooding, crop development is progressing.

Saskatchewan Agriculture said one per cent of the hay crop is cut and one per cent is baled.

Saskatchewan Agriculture said moisture is especially needed in parts of the east-central and southern regions.

Around 99 per cent of the crops have been planted says Sask Ag.

Saskatchewan Agriculture says 98 per cent of the 2020 crop is in the ground.

Strong winds and a lack of precipitation is drying out many fields as seeding nears completion, Saskatchewan Agriculture reported.

Saskatchewan Agriculture said favourable weather conditions allowed farmers to make substantial seeding progress in the past week.

Saskatchewan Agriculture officials said dry weather between May 12 and 18 allowed seeding to progress steadily for most farmers.
