OMAFRA’s Field Crop Team released its latest Field Crop Report to give an update on field conditions and weather throughout Ontario.

“Rainfall across much of the province last week has brought renewed vigor to many of the crops,” the report says.

Despite dry weather resulting in some potential yield loss, the recent moisture could allow some crops to rebound.

“Hay and pasture fields have greened up considerably, suggesting a chance for a decent 2nd/3rd cut and getting livestock back on pasture,” the report said. “Corn and bean crops have responded to the rainfall as well.”

Spring cereal harvest is wrapping up around the province. Some cereals are performing better than others.

“While winter wheat yields were generally above average for all classes, spring cereal yields are lower than average, particularly in central Ontario,” OMAFRA’s Field Crop team said in its report.

Producers beginning to harvest their dry edible beans may want to consider applying a pre-harvest herbicide to even up dry-down.

“For soybeans and edible beans, controlling escaped weeds will make harvest more efficient, can improve harvest quality and can provide better weed control in the following crop.”
