The Northwest region received some much-needed rain and breaks from high temperatures over the past week, according to the latest Manitoba Agriculture Crop Report.
Some localized hail was reported in the Swan River Valley, but the extent of damage to crops there is unknown.
Despite the rain, crops in lighter soils and that have had limited moisture so far this year are showing symptoms of stress.
Fall rye and winter wheat look good as they continue towards the soft dough stage, while spring wheat crops are heading to the milk stage, with some crops lagging further behind.
Field peas are mostly in the R3 to R4 stage, while the most advanced Soybean crops are also in the R3 stage.
Canola continues to be varied across the region, depending on seeding date and moisture levels for germination.
The majority of Canola is in the flower/pod development stage, with the most advanced crops wrapping up flowering.
Grasshoppers are becoming a concern in some crops, with spraying needed in those fields.
