WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Manitoba farmers have harvested 70 percent of canola after favourable weather in the past week, according to the most recent weekly crop report from the government of the Western Canadian province.

The spring cereals harvest is estimated at 85 to 90 percent complete. Flax is 25 percent complete, soybeans 50-60 percent complete and grain corn five percent complete.

Killing frosts during the weekend will help crops dry.

Canola yields range from 30 to 70 bushels per acre.
