  • Provincially, seeding in Manitoba estimated to be 55% complete.  Cereals, peas, and some early seeded canola are starting to emerge.   
     
  • No significant precipitation was received; in the majority of the province soils are dry and precipitation is needed to aid in crop germination and emergence. 
     
  • Temperatures below 0°C reported throughout the province. Minimal crop injury reported due to little crop emergence. 
     
  • Regrowth of winter cereals, pasture, and hayfields continues to be slow due to dry topsoil conditions.
