Manitoba Crop Report

Manitoba Agriculture says over 90% of all crops in the province have been harvested. That's ahead of the 5-year average of 77% for the same period.

The majority of the outstanding acres are soybeans, corn, and sunflowers.

Winter cereal seeding is nearly complete.

Canola in Manitoba is generally yielding lower than average oil content, based on preliminary Canadian Grain Commission harvest survey reports.

Regrowth on drought-stressed soybeans is present in some fields in the most severely hit areas, but has not affected harvest quality.

Grain corn and sunflower harvest is now underway.
