Producers have made tremendous progress last week with 74 per cent of the 2021 crop now seeded, well ahead of the five-year average of 48 per cent (2016-2020) for this time of year.
Minimal rain and fair weather across the province has allowed producers to seed without any prolonged delays.
Eighty-two per cent of the crop has been seeded in the southwest region. Seventy-nine per cent has been seeded in the southeast, 77 per cent seeded in both the west-central and northwest regions and 63 per cent seeded in the east-central and northeast regions.
Ninety-three per cent of the field peas, 93 per cent of the lentils, 83 per cent of the durum, 83 per cent of the chickpeas, 80 per cent of the spring wheat, 78 per cent of the canola and 75 per cent of the barley have been seeded to date.
