Weekly Provincial Summary 
  • Moderate to cooler than normal temperatures last week. Strong southerly winds on Wednesday caused soil blowing and drifting on soils with dry topsoil and poor crop residue.
     
  • Low to moderate rainfall amounts reported in most regions with the highest precipitation in the North West where some fields are excessively wet and will require days of good drying conditions before field operations resume.
     
  • Seeding is nearing completion in Manitoba with about 90% of cultivated acres seeded. Many growers are already done. Seeding is lagging most in the North West and South West regions with 70 to 85% completed respectively.
     
  • Earliest planted cereals are in the 3 to 4 leaf stage and post emergence herbicide applications are going on as weather conditions allow. Canola, field peas, corn and also some soybeans are emerged.
     
  • Low insect pressure generally reported at this time on early emerging crops.
     
  • Hay and pasture fields are growing slow and need warmer temperatures to stimulate growth. Livestock water supplies are considered adequate.
