Harvest activity is gaining momentum across Manitoba as producers begin combining cereals, oilseeds and pulse crops while continuing forage and silage operations.
According to the latest Manitoba crop report, early harvest progress and encouraging yield reports are creating cautious optimism despite pockets of dryness and ongoing livestock health concerns.
Winter cereal harvest is leading the way, with producers in Manitoba's Eastern and Central regions reporting that harvest is approximately 75 per cent complete.
