Mixed bag of weather impacts Saskatchewan crops

While parts of Saskatchewan are dry, others received heavy localized rain, according to this week’s Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture crop report.

Producers noted a wide range of precipitation across their rural municipalities ranging from three millimetres in the Netherhill area to 50 millimetres in the Bienfait and Wadena areas.

Crop Development Specialist Matthew Struthers called it another topsy-turvy week for producers.

“Some got slammed with rain and hail and others are begging the skies to open up and just give them at least a little drop,” Struthers said.
