Manitoba Harvest on Pace with Five-Year Average

The Manitoba harvest is progressing in line with the five-year average, with the bulk of the headway being made in the province’s Central Region. 

Tuesday’s provincial crop report pegged the overall Manitoba harvest at 3% done. The Central Region was leading the way at 5% complete, followed by the Southwest at 3%, and the Northwest and Interlake regions at 2%. The Eastern Region was bringing up the rear at 1% done. 

The winter wheat and fall rye harvests were both reported at 67% complete. Early reports are putting winter wheat yields from 50 to 65 bu/acre and fall rye in the 60 to 90 bu/acre range. Peas were estimated at about 22% harvested across the province, followed by spring wheat at 5%, and oats and barley at less than 1% each. No canola was yet reported harvested.
