Pea and Lentil Harvest 20% Complete
REGINA - Aug 16/18 - SNS -- Saskatchewan pea and lentil harvests made good progress during the past week with around 20% of the province's pea and lentil crops in the bin and another 20% ready to be harvested.
Reported yields are average to below average, but Saskatchewan Agriculture says farmers are happy with this year's quality.
This year's harvest is most advanced in southwestern Saskatchewan, where 10% of the crop is combined, compared to 8% in southeastern Saskatchewan, 2% across central crop districts and 1% in the north. Though some farmers would like to receive one more soaking rain to help crops fills, harvest progress in other areas is helped by current dry conditions.
