31% of Pulses Behind Normal Development
REGINA - Jun 25/20 - SNS -- Windy conditions during the past week had little impact on overall soil moisture reserves because of rain events in many areas, reports Saskatchewan Agriculture in its latest crop progress report.
"Most farmers would welcome more rain," the agriculture department said, "but some that received high amounts of rainfall over the past few weeks have indicated that some fields are saturated."
More significantly, crop development is around the normal development stage for this time of year for most crops. More of the oilseed crops are considered behind normal.
Provincially, 68% of fall cereals, 69% of spring cereals, 60% of oilseed crops and 74% of pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year. Dry topsoil moisture conditions have resulted in delayed emergence and development of later and smaller seeded crops.
