Many crops in Manitoba are now at the 90 per cent mark in terms of harvest progress.
Pam de Rocquigny of Manitoba Agriculture says most cereal crops are over 95 per cent done, while canola is about 90 per cent complete.
Soybeans are at about 70 per cent in some areas. Grain corn harvest has begun in some locations and sunflowers are maturing with some desiccation occurring.
De Rocquigny says a lot of producers have been drying down crops due to the wet conditions.
"I think this year we've definitely seen, generally speaking, an increase in terms of crops needing to be either put on aeration, or artificially dried to safe storage moisture levels," she said. "That's just been largely a function of the weather that we've had this harvest season in terms of the wet weather that we seem to get every three days, it seems like for some reason."
