Many farmers across Saskatchewan need rain.
In the latest crop report, the province reported that 58 per cent of farmers don’t have enough moisture in the early days of seeding season.
Winston van Staveren farms durham wheat, canola, soy beans and lentils close to Creelman, about 55 kilometres northeast of Weyburn.
He, like many others, is in desperate need of rain.
“It’s kind of scary right now looking at the forecast because there isn’t much moisture predicted,” he said. “Hopefully they’re wrong, like they sometimes are.”
