Harvesting General in Western Canada

Weather favors harvest across Manitoba Saskatchewan and Alberta with 30 percent of crops complete in Manitoba. Frost damage is minor in Peace River area and showers aided harvest progress. Prairie regions expect warm sun for late fall stands while early wheat quality varies with conditions. Coarse grains follow, fodder crops improve, grasshoppers and sawflies cause localized damage.
