Jim Wickett farms in the Rosetown area and says they woke up to snow again this morning.
He said he just finished the harvest on Saturday, but notes he’s one of the lucky ones in the area adding as soon as its dry enough he’ll be out helping a neighbor wrap up his harvest.
“If you go south of Rosetown you know towards that Elrose country I’m going to say it’s at least 90%, quite a few of the guys are probably done. As soon as you literally hit Rosetown and then go North, it’s a totally different story. You’re probably sitting in that 60% or maybe even less and then it just gets worse as you go north.”
In the north-central part of the province, some producers haven’t turned a wheel in over three weeks due to the wet conditions. Harvest in the northeast is at 34% done, while the northwest only has 27% of the crop in.
Saskatchewan Agriculture says provincially there’s still a lot of cereals out in the field and quite a bit of canola, as well as some soybeans, flax and even a few pulse acres left to come in.
Some producers in the southern part of the Province have the crop in the bin, while others still have a few acres to wrap up.
Overall about 68% of the provincial crop is in the bin.
