Saskatchewan Harvest Well Ahead Of Last Year

The Saskatchewan harvest is well ahead of last year.
 
So far 16% of the crop is in the bin with another 19% laying in swath or ready to straight cut, up from last year at this time when only 2% of the crop was combined.  Producers in the Southwest now have 33% of the overall crop in the bin.
 
Integrated Pest Management Specialist Brent Flaten breaks down the numbers for us.
 
"We're looking at about 95%of the winter wheat and fall rye combine, and a good start on the durum at 14% done.  And mustard at 35% in the bin, and of course field peas and lentils are quite far along as well, at 79% and 70% respectively," he said.
