Quote-Dennis Lange-Manitoba Agriculture:
Over the last week we've seen some interesting weather.We've seen some very strong winds on Thursday and Friday and saw some soil moving around in different areas.Our seeding progress has moved over the last week in most area.The Northwest region is still trailing behind.
They've just started in the fields but when you look at the provincial numbers, for this week we're looking at 37 percent complete in the province.That's compared to 57 percent in 2025 but, when you look at the five-year average, it's at 43 percent so we're really not that far behind the five-year average.
Over the next week I expect a lot of farmers to continue getting crop in.We're going to see a lot more canola going in over week now that things are warming up a bit.
