CROP REPORT FOR PERIOD FROM OCTOBER 5 TO 11, 2010

Released on October 14, 2010

Recent warm and sunny weather has allowed Saskatchewan producers to make significant harvest progress again this week. Eighty-three per cent of the 2010 crop has been combined, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture's Weekly Crop Report. This is an increase of 23 per cent over last week.

An additional 13 per cent is swathed or ready to straight-combine. The five-year provincial average (2005 to 2009) for this time of year is 89 per cent combined.

Combining progress across the province as of October 11 was as follows:

  • Southwest - 86 per cent;
  • Southeast - 87 per cent;
  • West-central - 76 per cent;
  • East-central - 85 per cent;
  • Northeast - 81 per cent; and
  • Northwest - 79 per cent.

Wet field conditions are still creating challenges for producers. With good weather over the past few weeks, producers are working to finish harvesting as quickly as they can.
