Harvest started early in Saskatchewan this year. 

Four per cent of the crop was in the bin by Aug. 7, according to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture weekly crop report.

Only two per cent is usually completed by Aug 7.

Harvest started by Aug. 1 with some fields from Dundurn south along Highway 11 done, some swathed, some with cattle turned into them and some baled for green feed.

Most advanced harvest is the southwest with 11 per cent done. Least advanced is the northeast with one percent complete.
