Last week, MAFRD cereal crop specialist Pam de Rocquigny posted a table on Crop Chatter showing average seeding progress from 2009-2013, based on crop insurance data.
The publication is now discontinued, but until 2009 the provincial agriculture department published an annual statistical review which contained a table showing various weather-related dates (see below). It shows that from 1963 to 2009, wheat seeding became general in Manitoba as early as May 1 (1980, 1998, 2000 and 2004) and as late as June 7 (1979).
