There is rain...... then there is what the folks in Minitonas got over the weekend.
According to this week's Manitoba Agriculture Crop Report, 81.4 mm of precipitation fell in the Swan Valley community this past Sunday, including over 37 mm in just a four-hour time frame.
Prior to that, significant progress was made in the Swan Valley with harvest, with a large portion of winter cereals and some field pea crops taken off the ground.
That helped lead to 30 per cent of fall rye and winter wheat crops being harvested so far in the Northwest, along with 20 per cent of field peas in the area.
Overall, one per cent of this year's total crop in the region has been harvested.
