Many areas of Manitoba received precipitation over the weekend which was of benefit to crops, hay, and pastures, however, the crop report says additional precipitation would still be welcomed to assist with crop germination, emergence, and growth. Where soil moisture is adequate, crops are emerging rapidly.
The report says little to no rainfall was reported in the southwest region over the past week, and cereal and canola crops could use some precipitation to help with germination.
Meanwhile, seeding is reported to be almost complete in the central region, although continued dry weather and high winds late last week caused some soil blowing to occur.
In the east, planting of spring cereals is complete with 90 per cent of acres in the seedling stage or emerging, while 95 per cent of canola acres are seeded with approximately 60 per cent of the crop in the seedling stage or emerging.
