Rain And Snow Will Cause Significant Harvest Delay In Saskatchewan

 
Heavy rain and snow this week is expected to cause a significant delay to harvest across Saskatchewan.
 
Provincial crops analyst Daphne Cruise says many farmers will need 4 to 5 days of warm dry weather before they can resume combining.
 
Cruise expects both yield and quality will be affected by the severe weather.
 
She says some cereal crops will have bleaching or sprouting.
 
Cruise adds there may be some shattering of canola.
 
As well, the snow will flatten crops, making harvest slow and difficult.

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
