Producers have made tremendous progress as 56 per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 36 per cent last week, ahead of the five-year (2016-2020) average of 35 per cent. An additional 24 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. There were several areas affected by rain delays but the majority of the province was able to continue their harvest operations without issue. The southwest region has made the most progress with 75 per cent of the crop now combined. The southeast has 67 per cent combined, the west-central 58 per cent, the east-central 38 per cent, the northeast 47 per cent and the northwest 37 per cent. Ninety-six per cent of the field peas, 93 per cent of the lentils, 74 per cent of the mustard, 66 per cent of the barley, 75 per cent of the durum, 58 per cent of the spring wheat and 31 per cent of the canola has now been combined. An additional 44 per cent of the canola is swathed or ready to straight-cut.

Estimated average crop yields at this time are 27 bushels per acre for hard red spring wheat, 19 bushels per acre for durum, 38 bushels per acre for barley, 20 bushels per acre for canola, 21 bushels per acre for field peas and 817 pounds per acre for lentils. Crop yields were greatly affected by drought conditions during critical growing stages this season and yields are far lower in some areas than anticipated. Rainfall last week ranged from trace amounts to 102 mm in the Rhein area which resulted in flooding and standing water in fields. Provincial cropland topsoil moisture conditions deteriorated slightly with recent strong winds even though rainfall was received in many parts of the province.

pasture land topsoil moisture improved this week and is rated as one per cent surplus, 25 per cent adequate, 39 per cent short and 35 per cent very short.

The majority of crop damage this past week was due to strong winds, drought and hail. Areas that received precipitation over the past few weeks have reported that standing crops such as cereals and lentils have experienced severe weathering and are being downgraded at the elevator. Some fields are in such poor condition that some producers have indicated they will not be harvested.

Producers are busy combining, swathing, baling straw and hauling bales. Livestock producers are busy moving cattle, hauling water and trying to take inventory of their winter feed supplies.

As of Sept. 1, the AgriRecovery program, now referred to as the 2021 Canada-Saskatchewan Drought Response Initiative, is accepting producer applications. The initiative will consist of two payments totaling up to $200/head for cattle, with adjustments based on animal unit equivalents for other livestock. The initial payment will provide producers with $100 per breeding female equivalent in inventory as of Aug. 1, 2021. Secondary payments of up to $100 per breeding female in inventory as of Dec. 31, 2021, will be made to producers who have incurred additional costs to retain the animals. Producers with questions can call the initiative's dedicated toll-free number at 1-844-723-1211 or directly email [email protected].

We want to remind producers to exercise caution and remain safe. We ask motorists to remain vigilant and to exercise patience when traveling around or near farm equipment on the highway.

Southeastern Saskatchewan:

Crop District 1 – Carnduff, Estevan, Redvers, Moosomin and Kipling areas Crop District 2 – Weyburn, Milestone, Moose Jaw, Regina and Qu’Appelle areas Crop District 3ASE – Radville, Minton and Lake Alma areas

Harvest continues to quickly progress quickly in the region as 67 per cent of the crop is now in the bin. This is up significantly from 42 per cent last week and remains well ahead of the five-year (2016-2020) average of 49 per cent for this time of year. An additional 17 per cent of the crops are swathed or ready to straight-cut.

Rainfall last week ranged from trace amounts to 25 mm in the Moose Jaw area. The Tantallon area received 19 mm of rain, the Glenavon area 12 mm and the Odessa area two mm.

Fields and pastures in many parts of the region remain dry and are in need of a significant rain to help replenish both the topsoil and subsoil moisture for next year once harvest is completed. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 48 per cent adequate, 45 per cent short and seven per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 31 per cent adequate, 46 per cent short and 23 per cent very short.

Crops are coming off dry and are poor quality overall. Reported yields are below average with some areas reporting less than anticipated yields due to the drought conditions and extremely hot weather during critical stages of the growing season. Yields for several crops, however, are higher in this region than others, mainly due to timely rains throughout the summer.

Crop damage was minimal this past week besides some strong winds blowing swaths around and some weathering of standing crops that will lead to downgrading. Due to the dry soil conditions there may be a reduction in winter cereals being seeded this fall as many producers are concerned about their soil moisture reserves for next spring.

Producers are busy combining, baling straw, moving cattle and hauling bales.

Southwestern Saskatchewan:

Crop District 3ASW – Coronach, Assiniboia and Ogema areas Crop District 3AN – Gravelbourg, Mossbank, Mortlach and Central Butte areas Crop District 3B – Kyle, Swift Current, Shaunavon and Ponteix areas Crop District 4 – Consul, Maple Creek and Leader areas

Producers took advantage of a warm, dry week and were able to spend long days inside their combines as 75 per cent of the crop is now combined. This is significantly up from 47 per cent last week and remains well ahead of the five-year (2016-2020) average of 55 per cent for this time of year. An additional nine per cent is swathed or ready to straight-cut.

Much of the region received very little rainfall last week with the Limerick area reporting 15 mm, the Mossbank area reporting 6 mm and the Mortlach and Eyebrow areas reporting 13 mm.

Topsoil moisture conditions are slowly deteriorating in the region now that is has been several weeks since a real substantial rainfall. After harvest is completed this region needs a large wide spread rain to replenish both the topsoil and subsoil moisture in fields and pastures. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 19 per cent adequate, 35 per cent short and 46 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 13 per cent adequate, 32 per cent short and 55 per cent very short. Crop District 3BS is reporting that 43 per cent of the cropland and 50 per cent of the hay and pasture land is very short topsoil moisture at this time.

Crops coming off are in very poor quality overall with well below average yields reported. This region struggled the worst throughout the drought and many crops did not have enough moisture to set or fill seed. The rain from previous weeks is causing some bleaching issues in the durum while strong winds have blown swaths around and have shelled out some standing crops. There are indications that there will be less winter cereals seeded this fall than normal due to the dry field conditions.

Producers are busy combining, swathing and moving bales and cattle.

East-Central Saskatchewan:

Crop District 5 – Melville, Yorkton, Cupar, Kamsack, Foam Lake, Preeceville and Kelvington areas

Crop District 6A – Lumsden, Craik, Watrous and Clavet areas

Regardless of recent rain in much of the region, producers continue to make good harvest progress. Thirty-eight per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 25 per cent last week and ahead of the five-year (2016-2020) average of 26 per cent for this time of year. An additional 35 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Warm and dry weather would be appreciated so that producers can return to the field.

Rainfall ranged from nil to 102 mm in the Rhein area, with most areas reporting over an inch of rain. The Langenburg area reported 46 mm, the Saltcoats area 36 mm, the Kenaston area 33 mm, the Craik area 32 mm, the Allan area 28 mm and the Esterhazy and Kelliher areas 20 mm.

Topsoil moisture conditions have improved slightly thanks to the recent rain. A large amount of moisture will be needed this fall to replenish both the topsoil and subsoil moisture for next year. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as four per cent surplus, 58 per cent adequate, 28 per cent short and ten per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as three per cent surplus, 45 per cent adequate, 36 per cent short and 16 per cent very short.

Most crops in the region are coming off tough or damp and are being placed into aeration bins and dryers to reach an optimum moisture content for storage. The moisture has also caused a large amount of downgrading for several crops in the region. Yields are below average in areas that were drier throughout the summer but areas that received timely rains are reporting yields closer to normal. Second growth in crops such as canola is making combining very difficult as the green plant material can plug up the sieves.

Producers are busy combining, swathing, moving cattle and hauling bales.

West-Central Saskatchewan:

Crop District 6B – Hanley, Outlook, Loreburn, Saskatoon and Arelee areas Crop District 7A – Rosetown, Kindersley, Eston and Major areas Crop District 7B – Kerrobert, Macklin, Wilkie and Biggar areas

Producers in the west-central region made significant harvest progress thanks to relatively warm and dry conditions. Fifty-eight per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 36 per cent last week and is well ahead of the five-year (2016-2020) average of 31 per cent for this time of year. An additional 26 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Upon harvest completion, producers would like to see several days of steady showers in order to replenish the soil moisture content.

Rainfall last week ranged from trace amounts to 19 mm in the Hanley area. The Outlook area reported 18 mm of rain, the Langham and Rosthern areas six mm, the Harris area four mm and the Biggar and Kerrobert areas three mm.

Topsoil moisture conditions have slightly deteriorated even with the recent rain. The region will need significant moisture this fall to replenish both the topsoil and subsoil moisture in field and pastures. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 31 per cent adequate, 43 per cent short and 26 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 17 per cent adequate, 51 per cent short and 32 per cent very short.

Most crops are coming off dry but are in very poor shape. Reported yields for the region are well below average and some producers are describing the crops in their area as “horrid”. Canola regrowth has created issues when straight combining and producers are acting quickly to dry it down in order to resume their harvest. Crop damage was minimal this week but grass hoppers are reported to still be a problem across the region.

Producers are busy combining, swathing, moving cattle and hauling grain.

Northeastern Saskatchewan:

Crop District 8 – Hudson Bay, Tisdale, Melfort, Carrot River, Humboldt, Kinistino, Cudworth and Aberdeen areas

Crop District 9AE – Prince Albert, Choiceland and Paddockwood areas

Recent rainfall is delaying harvest progress for some areas in the region while others hardly slowed down. Forty-seven per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 34 per cent last week and well ahead of the five-year (2016-2020) average of 15 per cent for this time of year. An additional 37 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. The region could use some warm weather to dry fields up and allow for crops to mature.

Rainfall ranged from trace amounts to 69 mm in the Humboldt area. The Lake Lenore area reported 50 mm of rain, the Kinistino area 38 mm and the Garrick area 21 mm. The rain pushed thinner swaths to the ground, making it hard to pick up and raised the potential for sprouting.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 46 per cent adequate and 54 per cent short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 27 per cent adequate and 73 per cent short. Soil moisture for the region has greatly improved and is on track to return to normal.

Crops are coming off tough or damp and many are being placed into aeration bins and dryers. Reported yields so far are less than average overall; some producers are estimating yields to be 20-50 per cent of normal. Most crop damage this week was caused by heavy rain showers that produced hail resulting in shelled out seed or downgraded crops, some fields were completely written off.

Producers are busy combining, swathing, desiccating and hauling bales.

Northwestern Saskatchewan:

Crop District 9AW – Shellbrook, North Battleford, Big River and Hafford areas Crop District 9B – Meadow Lake, Turtleford, Pierceland, Maidstone and

Lloydminster areas

Warm and relatively dry weather conditions have allowed many producers to get into the field to continue with harvest operations. Thirty-seven per cent of the crop is now combined, up from 21 per cent last week but remaining well ahead the five-year (2016-2020) average of 11 per cent for this time of year. An additional 38 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight cut. Producers hope the rain will hold off and they will be able to complete harvest without too many future delays.

Rainfall last week ranged from nil to 18 mm in the Meadow Lake area. The Duck Lake area reported 13 mm of rain, the Turtleford area nine mm, the Glaslyn area three mm and the Nielburg area two mm.

Cropland topsoil moisture conditions are rated as 35 per cent adequate, 44 per cent short and 21 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 18 per cent adequate, 41 per cent short and 41 per cent very short.

Crops are coming off tough or damp and many are being placed into aeration bins and dryers. Many crops are being silaged in order to provide winter feed for cattle. Most crop damage this past week was due to strong winds that have blown swaths around and shelled out some standing crops. Reported yields so far are below average and many crops are being cut and baled for cattle feed.

Producers are busy combining, swathing and moving cattle and bales.
