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.

Video: EP 73 Diversity is Resiliency – Stories of Regeneration Part 6

During the growing season of 2023 as summer turned into fall, the Rural Routes to Climate Solutions podcast and Regeneration Canada were on the final leg of the Stories of Regeneration tour. After covering most of the Prairies and most of central and eastern Canada in the summer, our months-long journey came to an end in Canada’s two most western provinces around harvest time.

This next phase of our journey brought us to Cawston, British Columbia, acclaimed as the Organic Farming Capital of Canada. At Snowy Mountain Farms, managed by Aaron Goddard and his family, you will find a 12-acre farm that boasts over 70 varieties of fruits such as cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, apples, and quince. Aaron employs regenerative agriculture practices to cultivate and sustain living soils, which are essential for producing fruit that is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients.
