Saskatchewan farmers have seeded 98 per cent of the 2024 crop as of June 10.
Rain and excessive moisture are posing challenges to seeding completion for some producers in parts of the northwest region around Glaslyn, Maidstone, St. Walburg, and areas east of Lloydminster. Around Cut Knife and Macklin areas, most producers have wrapped up seeding, and are reporting good growing conditions.
Pastures are developing well, and producers are optimistic about potential hay crops within the region. Producers will be applying in-crop applications when weather permits and continuing to monitor crops over the coming week.
Crops are within the normal stages of development for this time of year, but there are instances of them starting to fall behind in development. This is due to excessive moisture, cooler temperatures, and delays in seeding progress from rainfall. Oilseed crops and annual forages are the furthest behind at 40 per cent and 37 per cent respectively.
