Manitoba Crop Report shows this year's cereal crop is almost in

Manitoba Agriculture's first crop report of the year shows 25 per cent of the provincial crop is now in, compared to the 5-year average of 63 per cent.

Dennis Lange the Provincial pulse and soybean specialist and editor of the Provincial Crop Report says seeding is moving along now with the warmer weather.

"Farmers are now able to get into the field and pretty much seed where they would like to seed now except for maybe some of the flooded drowned area along the river. Generally, field conditions are looking quite good out there right now. We're seeding into moisture in most of the areas which is also good,  considering two weeks ago there was still snow banks in the yard."
