Ontario corn and soybean crops appear to have come through an extended dry spell in good condition, but there may be some negative impact on winter wheat, according to the latest provincial field crop report.
“The planting season went by extremely fast and under dry conditions,” said the Friday report. “Farmers were concerned with soil moisture and planted as deep as needed to plant seed into moisture. This has resulted in good germination and reasonable emergence in most fields setting the crops up for excellent yield potential.”
Although recent rainfall in the province was much needed and welcomed, the report noted it did come with hail in many areas, with east Chatham-Kent through west Elgin reporting crop injury.
