Farmers continue to make steady progress on seeding with many reported to be well past the halfway mark and others nearing completion.
Producers in some areas, however, are extremely wet and some fields will likely go unseeded.
As of May 20, about 27 percent of the province’s crop had been planted, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly crop report.
The period saw good seeding weather in most regions. Some regions continue to struggle with excess moisture.
In the southeast, the Frobisher and Carnduff areas received about 50 millimetres of rain, enough to delay seeding progress and force growers to reassess plans.
Other communities, including Quill Lake in the east-central region and Major in west-central Saskatchewan, received more 25 mm of rain between May 14 -20.
As of last week, topsoil moisture on Saskatchewan farmland was reported as 14 percent surplus, 78 percent adequate and eight percent short.
As of last week, seeding was furthest advanced in southwestern Saskatchewan and least advanced in the northeast, where very few acres went in before May 15.
