The timing of seeding for this year's cereal crops is right on track with other years.
That from Anne Kirk, cereal specialist with Manitoba Agriculture.
She notes conditions are dry, adding last month was one of the driest April's on record.
"From what I've heard right now is that moisture conditions for seeding are OK. People are able, in general, I think to plant into moisture. I think another consideration is also fertilizer. When considering nitrogen fertilizer, it does move through the soil with moisture."
