Released on September 24, 2009
Fine weather helped producers make good progress on harvest this past week, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture's weekly Crop Report.
Fifty per cent of the 2009 crop has been combined, up from 32 per cent last week. An additional 24 per cent is swathed and nine per cent is ready to straight-combine.
The five-year (2004-2008) average for this time of year is 58 per cent harvested, although harvest progress has ranged from as little as 17 per cent completed in 2004 to as much as 92 per cent completed in 2006.
Despite some scattered showers during the week and rain on Sunday, the weather was generally good and allowed most producers to progress well with the harvest. Producers in many areas are dealing with short harvesting days, thanks to dew in the morning and evening.
Ninety-eight per cent of the winter wheat, 91 per cent of fall rye, 87 per cent of lentils, 94 per cent of peas and 59 per cent of barley have been combined. Thirty-four per cent of canola has been harvested and 56 per cent has been swathed. Sixty-four per cent of mustard has been harvested and 13 per cent is ready to straight-combine.
Cropland topsoil moisture continues to decline in the province and is rated as 66 per cent adequate, 27 per cent short and seven per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions are similar to last week's report and are rated as 56 per cent adequate, 33 per cent short and 11 per cent very short.
Grasshoppers and sawflies are the major causes of reported crop damage, particularly in south-central Saskatchewan. Wind also continues to damage crops by blowing swaths around.
Producers are relieved there have not been reports of frost damage yet.
