Rain Helped, Saskatchewan Crop Report Says

Topsoil moisture conditions have greatly improved in much of the province, thanks to heavy rains early in the week, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture says.
 
Rainfall ranged from small amounts to well over 100 millimetres in some areas.
 
As a result after weeks where the most of the grain belt was too dry, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are now rated as seven per cent surplus, 62 per cent adequate, 25 per cent short and six per cent very short.
