The seeding season is progressing across much of Manitoba.
Most producers are ahead of last year with provincial seeding progress at 57 per cent complete, according to Keystone Agricultural Producers(KAP).
“Many regions are seeing good moisture this growing season, and the forecast shows warmer weather,” KAP president Jill Verwey said in an emailed statement.
“Overall, we are optimistic for a good year and for most Manitoba producers to wrap up seeding on time or ahead of schedule. In light of recent trade tensions, this is some welcome good news for Manitoba producers.”
For Korey Peters, seeding season is nearly complete on his farm in southeastern Manitoba.
“Seeding has progressed very nice this year because of the dry weather,” Peters told Global News, while adding his area could use more rainfall soon.
“But I have to be careful what I wish for, as every farmer is.”
