Saskatchewan Special Crop 2006 Harvest Quality
VANCOUVER - Oct 25/06 - SNS -- The quality of this year's specialty crop harvest in Saskatchewan is significantly better than last year, an observation borne out by reports from Saskatchewan Agriculture's 280 crop reporters around that province.
In its final crop report of the year, Saskatchewan Agriculture said the quality of all crops grown in the province "was much better . . . than it has been for a couple years, due mainly to dry harvest weather.
"Most specialty crops came in with above-average quality. The mustard crop is expected to grade 84% 1 Canada versus the 10-year average of 74%. With just over half of the sunflowers combined, 36% of that crop is expected to grade 1 Canada, compared to 71% for the 10-year average.
"The lentil crop is expected to grade 94% in the top two grades, compared to the 10-year average of 73%. The pea crop is expected to grade 92% in the top two grades, compared to the 10-year average of 81%. The chickpea crop is expected to grade 67% 1 CW."
