Fall harvest all but complete in the area
Harvest has all but wrapped up for many farmers in the province and it appears to be a very successful year however that depends on where you live in Saskatchewan.
Shannon Friesen, Regional Crops Specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture said that farmers in the North are reporting a much better harvest than their counterparts from the South.
“Crops for the most part are the best we have seen in many years especially in the Northeast and Northwestern parts of the province,” Friesen said. “Most of the credit can be given to the very dry fall we’ve had this year.”
Friesen said provincial yields were average however that too was all contingent to where you farmed.
