Nervous Finish in Lentils
VANCOUVER - Jun 6/15 - SNS -- Lentil markets finished the week on a nervous footing, with another frost event in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Moreover, a relatively high proportion of the crop is considered to be in fair or worse condition, with many fields needing rain as well as warm weather to recover.
As of the first of June, 44% of Saskatchewans lentil crop was rated in fair to poor condition, reflecting the impact of frost events and insect damage to emerging fields.
