Rain and Cooler Temperatures Offer Respite for Saskatchewan Crops

Rain and cooler weather have helped relieve stress on many moisture-starved Saskatchewan crops. The rain that fell through wide parts of the province over the weekend was a positive sign for many producers, said the latest weekly provincial crop report on Thursday. However, even within regions that received the rain the impact on crop and pasture conditions was variable, it added. “In some areas, the rain came just in time to carry crops forward through flowering and grain fill, while in other areas the rain came too late to make a difference to crops or pastures.” Topsoil moisture is highly variable, depending on region, but most regions have seen an improvement after the recent rainfall. Provincially, cropland topsoil moisture was rated 2% surplus, 71% adequate, 22% short and 5% very short as of Monday. That compares with 60% adequate, 32% short and 8% very short a week earlier, and 50% adequate, 40% short and 10% very short at this time last year. Cropland topsoil moisture

Alberta Major Crop Conditions Little Changed on the Week

Alberta major crop conditions were relatively unchanged this past week, holding above the five- and 10-year averages. The weekly provincial crop report on Friday said precipitation did bring relief to crops in some areas but added that prolonged hot and dry weather “continues to be a challenge to crops and pastures in other regions.” The overall condition of major crops (spring wheat, oats, barley, canola, dry peas) was pegged at 65% good to excellent as of Tuesday, down a single point from the previous week but above five-year average of 55% and the 10-year average of 60%. At 66% good to excellent as of Tuesday, the condition of the Alberta spring wheat crop was down 1 point from a week earlier, while barley held steady at 67%. The condition of the oat crop fell to 55% good to excellent from 63%. Canola was down 1 point at 63% and peas were up a single point at 66%. Major crops in the province’s Central Region were rated the best at 93% good to excellent as of Tuesday, followe
