Harvest operations are underway in Manitoba, according to the latest provincial crop report as of Aug. 12 noting that winter cereals and early spring grains and field peas were starting to come off the fields.
The onset of India’s annual southwest monsoon is expected over the next four-to-five days, which would make for the earliest start of the rainy season since 2009 and sets the stage for good crop production going forward.
Seeding progress in Manitoba is running ahead of average, with 32 per cent of intended acres in the ground as of May 13, reported Manitoba Agriculture in its weekly crop report.
