Harvest nearly at standstill in northwest Saskatchewan
Harvest in northwest Saskatchewan is essentially at a standstill, according to the latest crop report from the province.
The report said cool, wet weather and slow crop maturity have hampered efforts in the field.
Just seven per cent of crops are combined, unchanged from seven per cent last week and well behind the five-year average of 19 per cent this time of year.
An additional 33 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut, but the province said the region needs several weeks of warm, dry weather to help crops mature for harvest to continue.
