Producers getting caught up on seeding
Producers are getting closer to where they’re supposed to be for spring planting.
In the weekly crop report released Thursday, Saskatchewan Agriculture reported spring seeding had reached the two-third mark and is now almost on par with the five-year average, said crop specialist Grant McLean.
“Our reporters are indicating we have around 67 per cent of the 2013 crop planted and that’s pretty close to the five-year average of 70 per cent.”
All regions of the province made significant headway this week. The southwest, at 85 per cent has the most planted while the northeast continues to lag behind the rest of the province with 51 per cent seeded.
