First Saskatchewan Crop Report of the Season

Seeding operations are underway in the Southwest and Southeast corner of the province.
 
The Ministry of Agriculture’s first crop report shows 3% of the 2016 crop has been seeded,  that’s ahead of the five-year average of less than 1%.
 
In the southwest, producers now have 8% of the crop in the ground, while 4% is seeded in the southeast.
 
Parts of the southwestern and west-central regions received much-needed moisture this week in the form of snow and rain. Some areas received up to 40 mm of snow.

We are taking students out to southern Manitoba to Hespler Farms! Farmer Wayne will teach students how he plants and cares for his potato crop and why potatoes are such a unique crop to grow. Teachers, check out your AITC Dashboard for Math'd Potatoes, a potato-themed classroom resource to pair with this tour video. Thank you to Peak of the Market and Penner Farm Services for making this event possible.
