Some progress was made with harvest in the Northwest region, despite rain once again slowing down operations in some parts.

According to the weekly Manitoba Agriculture Crop report, four per cent of this year's crop in the region has been harvested. 

That is behind the provincial average of 10 per cent.  

60 per cent of this year's fall rye and winter wheat crop has been collected, with harvest of those crops almost complete in the Swan Valley.

Meanwhile forty per cent of field peas and five per cent of the spring wheat crop has been harvested. 

Yields range from 30 to 60 bushels per acre for field peas, and 50 to 60 bushels per acre for spring wheat, with some fields yielding higher.  

Soybeans are in the R5 to R6 stage with conditions varying, while most Canola fields are podded and moving towards maturity.
