Rainfall significantly increased topsoil moisture across Saskatchewan for the period June 17-23, giving producers a helping hand to the growing season.
The Macklin area received the highest rainfall, at 108 millimeters (mm) recorded for the past week, followed by the Wilkie area at 107 mm.
From Glaslyn through Maidstone and St. Walburg, the welcomed rain has moved crop development to a more normal stage for this time of year, according to the province.
Crop development in the Northwestern Saskatchewan, which includes areas just east of Lloydminster, shows spring cereals ahead at 31 per cent.
Producers are reminded to take all safety precautions in the work they do. The Farm Stress Line is also available 24/7, toll-free at 1-800-667-4442.
