topsoil moisture is rated as one per cent surplus, 23 per cent adequate, 42 per cent short and 34 per cent very short.

The majority of crop damage this past was due to strong winds, lack of moisture and frost. Most of the province received a hard frost earlier this week that caused damage to later- seeded and immature crops. Producers are assessing the damage to determine the potential impact. As field conditions remain very dry in some areas, seeding of winter cereals will be minimal this fall. Strong winds continue to blow swaths and shell standing crops.

Farmers are busy combining, swathing, baling straw and hauling bales. With harvest underway in Saskatchewan, we want to remind producers to exercise caution and remain safe.

Southeastern Saskatchewan:  Crop District 1 – , , Redvers, Moosomin and Kipling areas  Crop District 2 – , Milestone, , Regina and Qu’Appelle areas  Crop District 3ASE – , Minton and Lake Alma areas

Harvest continues to progress quickly in the region with 59 per cent of the crop now in the bin, significantly up from 39 per cent last week and well ahead of the five-year (2015-2019) average of 49 per cent for this time of year. An additional 19 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut.

Rainfall last week ranged from trace amounts to 17 mm in the Tantallon area. The Frobisher area received four mm of rain, the Redvers area one mm, the Whitewood and Briercrest areas seven mm, the Glenavon and Weyburn areas six mm, the Odessa area five mm, the Moose Jaw area three mm and the Radville area two mm. The Tantallon area has received the most precipitation in the region since April 1 with 327 mm.

Fields and pastures remain dry and are in need of a significant rain to help replenish both topsoil and subsoil moisture for next year. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 24 per cent adequate, 61 per cent short and 15 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 19 per cent adequate, 47 per cent short and 34 per cent very short.

Crops are coming off dry and are in good quality overall. Reported yields are average overall, with some areas reporting less than anticipated yields due to the dry conditions and recent hot weather and strong winds. Most crop damage this past week was due to strong winds blowing swaths around. Many areas also reported frost earlier this week that will damage some immature crops and alfalfa fields. There are indications that there will be less winter cereals seeded this fall than normal due to the dry field conditions. Farmers are busy combining, baling straw, moving cattle and hauling bales.

Southwestern Saskatchewan:  Crop District 3ASW – Coronach, Assiniboia and Ogema areas  Crop District 3AN – , Mossbank, Mortlach and areas  Crop District 3B – Kyle, , Shaunavon and areas  Crop District 4 – Consul, Maple Creek and Leader areas

Harvest in the southwest region is rapidly progressing for producers as 71 per cent of the crop is now combined. This is significantly up from 50 per cent last week and remains well ahead of the five-year (2015-2019) average of 53 per cent for this time of year. An additional 13 per cent is swathed or ready to straight-cut.

Much of the region received very little rainfall last week with the Consul area reporting 13 mm. The and Hazenmore areas reported three mm of rain, the Shaunavon and Maple Creek areas 10 mm, the Limerick, Cabri and Mossbank areas two mm and the Eyebrow, Gull Lake and Leader areas six mm. The Gouldtown area reported the most precipitation in the region since April 1 with 334 mm.

Topsoil moisture conditions are rapidly deteriorating in the region. Substantial rainfall will be needed this fall to replenish both the topsoil and subsoil moisture in fields and pastures. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as five per cent adequate, 42 per cent short and 53 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as one per cent adequate, 39 per cent short and 60 per cent very short. Crop District 3BS is reporting that 78 per cent of the cropland and 80 per cent of the hay and pasture land is very short topsoil moisture at this time.

Crops coming off are in good quality overall with average yields reported. However, there are many fields yielding much less than anticipated due to the recent hot and dry weather. The recent rain caused some bleaching issues in durum while strong winds have blown swaths around and have shelled out some standing crops. Field and combine fires are still being reported, although the recent rain has helped to reduce the risk. Frost was reported earlier this week but damage will vary for most crops as what is remaining in the field is quite advanced. There are indications that there will be less winter cereals seeded this fall than normal due to the dry field conditions.

Farmers are busy combining, swathing and moving bales and cattle.

East-Central Saskatchewan:  Crop District 5 – Melville, , Cupar, , , and Kelvington areas  Crop District 6A – Lumsden, Craik, Watrous and Clavet areas

Despite recent rain in much of the region, producers continue to make good harvest progress. Twenty-nine per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 20 per cent last week and ahead of the five-year (2015-2019) average of 25 per cent for this time of year. An additional 39 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Warm and dry weather would be appreciated so that producers can return to the field.

Rainfall ranged from nil to 29 mm in the Kelvington area, with most areas reporting over 10 mm. The Foam Lake and Saltcoats areas reported 13 mm, the and Kelliher areas 19 mm, the Pelly and Craik areas five mm, the Kuroki area 18 mm, the Bethune area one mm, the Earl Grey area 12 mm and the Yorkton area four mm. The Langenburg area has received the most precipitation in the region since April 1 with 306 mm.

Topsoil moisture conditions have improved slightly thanks to the recent rain. A large amount of moisture will be needed this fall to replenish both topsoil and subsoil moisture for next year. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 41 per cent adequate, 36 per cent short and 23 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 27 per cent adequate, 43 per cent short and 30 per cent very short.

Most crops in the region are coming off tough or damp and are being placed into aeration bins and dryers. Reported yields are average, with some crops yielding less than anticipated due to the hot and dry conditions. The region received frost earlier this week and producers are assessing any damage done to immature crops. Strong winds continue to blow swaths around and have shelled out some standing crops.

Farmers are busy combining, swathing, moving cattle and hauling bales.

West-Central Saskatchewan:  Crop District 6B – Hanley, Outlook, Loreburn, and Arelee areas  Crop District 7A – Rosetown, , Eston and Major areas  Crop District 7B – , Macklin, Wilkie and Biggar areas

Producers in the west-central region continue to make significant harvest progress thanks to relatively warm and dry conditions. Thirty-eight per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 25 per cent last week and remaining well ahead of the five-year (2015-2019) average of 30 per cent for this time of year. An additional 25 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Warm and dry weather is needed in the region so that crops can further dry down for harvest.

Rainfall last week ranged from trace amounts to 13 mm in the Cando area. The Outlook area reported eight mm of rain, the Saskatoon and Phippen areas 10 mm, the and Kindersley areas six mm, the Marengo area two mm, the Biggar area seven mm and the Tugaske area four mm. The area has received the most precipitation in the region since April 1 with 380 mm. Topsoil moisture conditions have slightly improved with the recent rain. The region will need significant moisture this fall to replenish both topsoil and subsoil moisture in field and pastures. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 44 per cent adequate, 47 per cent short and nine per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 25 per cent adequate, 51 per cent short and 24 per cent very short.

Crops are coming off relatively dry and are in good shape overall. Reported yields so far are about average with some fields yielding much less than expected due to the hot and dry weather conditions. Most crop damage has been due to strong winds blowing swaths around and shelling out standing crops. Frost was received earlier this week; some

immature crops are likely damaged and producers are assessing their fields. The fire risk remains high in many areas and there continues to be reports of field and combine fires.

Farmers are busy combining, swathing, moving cattle and hauling grain.

Northeastern Saskatchewan:  Crop District 8 – Hudson Bay, Tisdale, Melfort, Carrot River, Humboldt, , Cudworth and Aberdeen areas  Crop District 9AE – Prince Albert, and Paddockwood areas

Recent rain delayed harvest progress for some areas in the region. However, many producers were able to get out into the field in between the showers to continue combining and swathing. Seventeen per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 10 per cent last and slightly ahead of the five-year (2015-2019) average of 15 per cent for this time of year. An additional 45 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. The region needs warm and dry weather to dry fields and allow crops to mature.

Rainfall ranged from small amounts to 25 mm in the area. The Hudson Bay area reported 23 mm of rain, the Spruce Home and Tisdale areas 20 mm, the Humboldt area 10 mm, the Vonda area three mm, the Melfort area 15 mm, the area 13 mm and the Garrick area 14 mm. The Nipawin area has received the most precipitation in the region since April 1 with 356 mm.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 13 per cent surplus, 62 per cent adequate, 19 per cent short and six per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 11 per cent surplus, 34 per cent adequate, 52 per cent short and two per cent very short. Crop District 8B is reporting that 14 per cent of the cropland and 11 per cent of the hay and pasture land has surplus topsoil moisture at this time.

Crops are coming off tough or damp and many are being placed into aeration bins and dryers. Reported yields are average overall, although some producers are estimating yields slightly below average due to the hot and dry weather conditions. Most crop damage this week was due to localized flooding and standing water. Strong winds are blowing swaths around and shelling out standing crops. Frost earlier this week will have an impact on immature crops and producers are assessing the damage.

Farmers are busy combining, swathing, desiccating and hauling bales.

Northwestern Saskatchewan:  Crop District 9AW – Shellbrook, North , Big River and areas  Crop District 9B – Meadow Lake, , Pierceland, Maidstone and areas

Warm and relatively dry weather conditions have allowed many producers to return to the field to continue with harvest operations. Seven per cent of the crop is now combined, up from three per cent last week but well behind the five-year (2015-2019) average of 14 per

cent for this time of year. An additional 42 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight cut. A good stretch of warm and dry weather is needed for the remaining crop to dry down enough to be harvested.

Rainfall last week ranged from nil to six mm in the Hafford, , Barthel and Meadow Lake areas. The Borden and Turtleford areas reported three mm of rain, the Neilburg area five mm, the Frenchman Butte area two mm and the St. Walburg area four mm. The St. Walburg area has received the most precipitation in both the region and the province since April 1 with 483 mm.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 73 per cent adequate and 25 per cent short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 61 per cent adequate, 30 per cent short and seven per cent very short.

Crop damage this past week was due to strong winds that have blown swaths around and shelled out standing crops. Frost was reported in some areas and producers are assessing the impact on immature crops. Reported yields are average, although there are some fields expected to yield less than anticipated due to the flooding during the summer.

Farmers are busy combining, swathing and moving cattle and bales.
