Saskatchewan Harvest Remains Close to Average Pace

Sep 02, 2022

The Saskatchewan harvest is progressing near the average pace, with some producers in the more advanced regions already getting close to completion.

Thursday’s weekly crop report pegged the overall Saskatchewan harvest at 23% complete as of Monday, up from 16% a week earlier and just 3 points back of the five-year average. Last year, 36% of the province’s crop was in the bin.

An estimated 67% of this year’s crop was off in the southwest region as of Monday, followed by the west-central at 36%, and the southeast at 16%. Just 9% of the crop was off in the east-central, along with 6% in the northwest, and only 4% in the northeast.

The provincewide lentil harvest was 74% done, with 66% of the field peas, 46% of the mustard and 51% of the durum also in the bin. The spring wheat harvest was 16% complete, while canola was 8% harvested. An additional 21% of the canola and 13% of the mustard was also swathed or ready to straight-cut as of Monday.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
