Every September Long Weekend, the Dauphin Agricultural Heritage Club hosts its annual threshing day to give people a look at how things were done in the past. This year, the club has to postpone the day from its normal weekend because of the delayed start to the season says Club President Dennis Forbes.
"It boils right back down to the type of spring we had, and crop was late getting in. Typically, crops use a hundred-day growing season to sprout and reach maturity, and that will be a couple of weeks later than in the past."
Forbes says while they don't have a specific date yet, it will likely be mid-September.
"If our weather gets really hot, it could mature faster than normal, but if we have a normal ripening period, it will be approximately mid-September."
We will have an update on when Threshing Day is taking place as soon as a new date is picked.
