Saskatchewan moisture conditions still at low levels

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.

Just under five per cent was done in the Moose Jaw-Regina area with three per cent done in the Central Butte- Mortlach area, and 5.4 per cent done in the Assiniboia-Coronach area.

Understanding the Blackleg & Verticillium Connection Webinar

Video: Understanding the Blackleg & Verticillium Connection Webinar

This webinar will explore the emerging connection between blackleg and verticillium stripe in canola, two diseases increasingly shaping yield risk across the Prairies. Presented by Ian Epp of Sask Oilseeds, the session will unpack current research and field observations that highlight how blackleg infection may influence the development and severity of verticillium stripe later in the season.

You will gain insight into disease biology, environmental drivers, and the role of variety selection, rotation, and management decisions in reducing overall disease pressure. The webinar will also connect the dots between early-season disease management and long-term risk, helping growers and agronomists better anticipate challenges and adapt strategies for more resilient canola production.
