Seeding 96% Complete Across Prairies

According to G-3 Canada, seeding progress across the prairies is at 96 per cent complete.
 
Weather and Crop Specialist Bruce Burnett says the rainy weather caused some delays.

"We're now into finishing off the later seeded crops, oats, barley and those types as well as receiving those canola crops hurt by the frost earlier this month."
