LUNENBURG, NS,

Crop Report for the Period July 22 to July 28, 2025

Sporadic showers brought much needed moisture and, in some cases, hail to certain areas of the province, while cooler weather brought relief to crops still in flower. Producers are hoping for more moisture to help with head and pod filling, but for many advanced crops, additional moisture will have little impact on yield at this stage. In some areas, a second cut of hay is unlikely due to the lack of moisture and crops are being cut for feed where shortages are anticipated. Rain fell in a few areas of the province this past week, but many regions received only trace amounts or no rain at all. The Richmound area reported the most rain this week with 62 millimetres (mm), followed by the Meadow Lake and Alida areas with 47 and 46 mm respectively. Forty-one mm of rain fell in the Carnduff area and 38 mm was recorded in the Oxbow area. Variable rainfall across the province was not enough to maintain topsoil moisture in many areas this week. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 65 per cen

Saskatoon company tests peat inoculant replacement

€A Saskatoon-based company has begun field trials of a replacement for granular peat inoculant. Peat has been used for decades to inoculate crops such as peas and lentils and is a biological that provides consistent benefits, said Dave Greenshields, who founded Insight Plant Health in 2020. However, customers are looking for a replacement, he told people attending a recent Canada-Saskatchewan Irrigation Diversification Centre field day. Peat is mined in Minnesota and costs about $1.50 per kilogram, he said. Shipping that to Saskatoon or Winnipeg and then bagging it and selling it comes at a low margin, he said. His company has developed Clean Granular Technology, which uses seed hulls instead. Greenshields said they tested many different options. “There’s about 15,000 tonnes per year of granular inoculant goes out,” he said. “So right away you need something that you can get 15,000 tonnes of every year consistently. “We tested anything we could get our hands on.” That included

Response to U.S. tariffs: Premier Danielle Smith

“We are pleased to see that CUSMA compliant goods remain tariff free, including the vast majority of goods Alberta sells to the U.S., such as all oil and gas and agricultural products. “That said, it’s also disappointing to see tariffs on other Canadian goods increase to 35 per cent. These tariffs hurt both Canadian and American businesses and workers, and they weaken one of the most important trade and security alliances in the world. “In recent months, I’ve met with dozens of governors, senators, members of Congress, and allies of the current administration. I remain convinced that the path to a positive resolution with our U.S. partners lies in strong, consistent diplomacy and a commitment to working in good faith toward shared priorities. “One thing is abundantly clear: Canada must become economically stronger. The federal government must immediately repeal the Trudeau-era laws that restrict resource development and are holding our economy back, and diversify and grow our export
