Crop Report: Harvest slow and steady in the northeast
Late seeding has put the northeast region behind the rest of the province for harvest progress.
According to this week’s Crop Report, two per cent of the 2015 crop is in the bin and an additional 12 per cent is swathed or ready to straight cut in the northeast region.
Within the region, 53 per cent of winter wheat, 100 per cent of fall rye, and 22 per cent of field peas have been combined.
Across the province 16 per cent of the crop is in the bin, and 19 per cent is swathed or ready to straight cut. That’s ahead of the five year average for this time of the year which is six per cent combined and 14 per cent swathed or ready to straight cut.
