Harvest around Moose Jaw pretty well completed

Harvesting around Moose Jaw is well ahead of the progress made provincially.

Provincially, 68 per cent of the crop was off by Sept.11, up from 48 per cent in the 10-year average, according to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture's weekly crop report.

A poll of farmers attending the Sukanen Ship Museum threshing bee indicated most of the region 's harvest was complete. Some had a few fields or days left. 

The crop report had 71per cent done in the Moose Jaw district, with 75 per cent in the Coronach, Assiniboia area and 90 per cent in the Gravelbourg-Central Butte region.
