Unusually Slow Saskatchewan Harvest
REGINA - Sep 9/02 - STAT -- This year's harvest in Saskatchewan is moving forward at an unusually slow pace, with progress for all crops lagging last year and the previous five-year average by a wide measure.
Saskatchewan Agriculture, Food and Rural Revitalization's weekly crop report blamed wet weather for the slow pace of harvest and declining quality of the crops.
It said crop reporters report 12% of the crops are combined, with a further 10% being utilized for alternative uses. The five-year (1997-2001) average is 56% combined at this time of year.
It is reported that 9% of the spring wheat crop has been harvested and about 26% of the wheat harvested to date is expected to grade No. 1 Canada Western (CW). This is down from last week's estimate of 38%, and well below the 10-year average of 52%.
