Alberta Seeding Almost Half Done

Warm, dry weather allowed Alberta seeding to advance to near half complete this past week, well ahead of the typical pace. Friday’s crop report showed the seeding of major crops (spring wheat, barley, oats, canola, and peas) at 47% complete as of Tuesday. That is up a major 27 points from a week earlier and easily tops the five- and 10-year averages of 26% and 29%.

The seeding of major crops is most advanced in the South Region at 76% complete, followed by the Central at 51%, the North East at 37%, the North West at 29% and the Peace at 27%.

The southwest region continues to lead in planting progress at 76% complete as of Monday, followed by the northwest at 49%. The southeast, west-central, and northeast regions were all at 43% done as of Monday, with the east-central region bringing up the rear at 33% complete. But while planting is advancing well, the report said warm, dry, and windy conditions are continuing to deplete topsoil moisture across the province. The highest reported rainfall this past week fell in the Marengo area at 14 mm, followed by the W
