Harvest of this year's crop across Manitoba has hit the halfway complete stage, but continues to loag behind in the Northwest region.
According to the latest Manitoba Agriculture Crop Report, 42 per cent of the crop in our region has been harvested to date, tied with the Southwest region for the least progress among the five regions.
Rain over the weekend, along with heavy morning dews slowed harvest progress in our region.
With fall rye and winter wheat harvest complete, seeding of those crops for next year has started in some parts of the region.
Spring wheat harvest is most advanced in the Swan Valley and Dauphin areas, while fields near The Pas, Roblin and Russell continue to lag behind.
Canola harvest is only eight per cent complete across the Northwest, with the Swan Valley again showing the most progress.
The report states varied stages are noticeable in some fields, with some plans hitting maturity while other plants are still green.
