Seeding wraps up across Saskatchewan

The 2023 crop is in the ground.

Seeding is 98 per cent complete across Saskatchewan, according to the latest crop report from the Ministry of Agriculture, and rain showers that moved through the province in the week ending Monday helped give crops in many areas a strong start.

Many crops are already emerging and developing, the ministry said, while producers are busy applying pesticides.

While most crops are at their normal development stages, the ministry noted that fall cereals are slightly ahead of the curve at 31 per cent, while oilseeds are behind at 16 per cent.
