Farmers across the Povince are evaluating the damage from weekend storms that brought light to heavy rain, hail, and even tornadoes.
Environment Canada says three tornadoes were spotted in Saskatchewan. According to their weather summary, a cylical tornadic supercell moved through Southern Saskatchewan on Saturday.resulting in hail as large as softballs in some areas and the development of three separate tornadoes.
The first tornado was reported near Glenbain that was on the ground for about 40 minutes, the second from Kinkaid to Woodrow and the third lasted about 20 minutes and touchdown near Assiniboia.
Crops Extension Specialist Sara Tetland says farmers should wait for four to five days before assessing hail damage as the majority of crops depending on the plant stage and damage can recover and continue growing.
"When you see damage impacting the flowers and the seeds that's when you might get a little bit more yield loss.So, it really does depend on the stage that the crop is in, and also just the amount of time you've been receiving hail."
