The past week was a good one for farmers across the Northwest region as good progress was made on harvesting this year's crop.
31 per cent of this year's crop in the area is now in the bin, a sharp improvement from just 9 per cent last week.
Our region is also now much closer to the provincial average, which sits at 37 per cent complete as of Tuesday.
Fall rye and winter wheat harvest is now complete within the region, while spring wheat harvest now sits at about 65-70 per cent complete, with 70 per cent of that harvested spring wheat being rated as good to excellent in quality.
Recent warm temperatures allowed canola crops in the area to advance in maturity, with some canola harvesting taking place near Roblin and in the Swan Valley.
And field pea harvest is now said to be about 85-90 per cent complete across the region, while soybeans have been able to advance rapidly and now sit mostly in the R7 to R8 stage.
