Special Crop Harvest Incomplete
PANAMA - Oct 26/16 - SNS -- Saskatchewan's specialty crop harvest is incomplete, with half of the province's canaryseed and three-quarters of the chickpeas still in the field, according to the last weekly harvest report from the provincial agriculture department.
Farmers were able to harvest all their field peas, but have yet to harvest the last 3% of their lentil fields and the last 21% of the mustard seed crop.
Of all crops grown in the province, only 81% has been harvested, compared to 99% at this time last year and the 10-year average of 96% complete by the end of the third week of October. Progress will continue to be monitored and updated in the final crop report, due on November 24.
