Precipitation this past week ranged from trace amounts to 8 mm in the Rosthern and Saskatoon areas. The Dinsmore area reported receiving 4 mm, the Cando area 3 mm and the Kindersley and Rosetown areas 2 mm. The Dinsmore area has received the most precipitation since April 1 (32 mm).

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 20 per cent adequate, 63 per cent short and 17 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 10 per cent adequate, 63 per cent short and 27 per cent very short.

Producers remain concerned about the dry soil conditions and livestock water quality. Pastures have been slow to green up with moisture needed to alleviate the dry pasture and hay land soil conditions.
