Nearly 1/3 Of Saskatchewan’s Crop Is In The Ground

 
Nearly a third of the provincial crop is in the ground.
 
30 percent has been planted, which is just down from the five year average of 33 percent.
 
While seeding is most advanced in the southeast where producers have 60 percent in the ground, those in the northwest and northeast have seen less than 10 percent planted.
 
Provincial crops specialist Shannon Friesen says that is a little concerning, but it is only mid-May and a couple of weeks of sunny weather will help tremendously in those regions.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
