Harvest progress remains well behind normal: Manitoba Crop Report

Manitoba Agriculture says ideal harvest conditions allowed for significant progress this past week.

Progress sits at 15% complete across the province, well behind the 5-year average of 51% completed by this time. The effect of delayed seeding, high humidity and frequent rains have had an impact delaying harvest.

Crop condition looks good to very good in most parts of the province, while the bulk of the crops have been desiccated.

Spring wheat harvest is expected to become widespread this week as crops dry down and weather forecasts remain warm and sunny.

Lodged crops due to recent isolated heavy rain and wind events in some regions have disrupted smooth harvest operations in peas and some cereals.

A limited start to soil testing has begun in some fields.
