With the widespread drought seen across southern Saskatchewan this summer, many producers have been forced to start harvest early.
Warren Ward, Canola Council of Canada’s agronomy specialist for east-central Saskatchewan says that is not the case as you head further north.
“It’s a bit of a mixed bag when you do start moving farther north,” Ward said. “In some areas which have been wet – in the northwest part of the province. They’re still quite a ways yet. In fact, there are some fields that have flowers.”
On the contrary swathing for canola becomes more common the further south you go.
