Sunshine, warm temperatures, and minimal rain over the past week has been good news for local farmers, as they continue to pull this year's crop off the field.
The weekly Manitoba Agriculture crop report says 75 per cent of this year's crop has been harvested now in the Northwest region.
That is significantly improved from the 44 per cent that had been harvested by the week prior.
It has also pushed our region ahead of the provincial average, which is at 72 per cent complete.
Spring wheat harvest is almost wrapped up, with yields averaging 70 to 80 bushels per acre, although some fields have reported higher yields.
After being just 10 per cent complete the week prior, Canola is now 85 per cent harvested in the Northwest.
Yields for that crop vary from 30 to 50 bushels per acre.
And Soybean harvest has now begun in the region, with five per cent of this year's crop pulled off the fields so far.
