CROP REPORT FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 29, 2007

Released on April 30, 2007

Topsoil moisture conditions on crop, hay and pasture land are generally adequate to surplus across the province, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture and Food’s weekly crop report.

Areas of surplus topsoil moisture are mainly in the east central and northeastern regions, although there are some areas of surplus topsoil moisture in the west central and northwestern regions.  Additionally, there are areas of short and very short topsoil moisture across the southern grainbelt.

While a few individual rural municipalities report seeding of up to 20 per cent or more, producers in many areas have not yet begun seeding, due to wet and/or cold field conditions.  To date, two per cent of the 2007 crop is planted.  Peas, canola and wheat are the most common crops reported as seeded so far.

More pre-seeding field work got underway this past week.  Farmers are picking rocks, harrowing, fertilizing, applying chemicals and cleaning grain.  North eastern and east central farmers report infrastructure damage from flooding.
