Harvest finished for season in North West region

Producers in the North West region, including the Battlefords and Meadow Lake area, have wrapped up their harvest for this fall.

Linda Bomok, who farms with her sons in the Richard, Saskatchewan, area, said she had a good season this year, after finishing harvest towards the end of September.

The family grows about 255 acres of soft spring wheat. They saw good yields of 50 bushels per acre for this year’s harvest.

Like many other producers, Bomok is finding the soil conditions on the dry side now. She would like to see a little precipitation on the way to help.
