Weather Delays Harvest Across District and Province
Wet cool conditions halt harvesting as rain on Wednesday Thursday and Saturday keeps combines idle for three to four days. Wheat yields were strong before the rains with grades up to No 2 and weights around 62 pounds per bushel. Oats and barley mark good yields while flax stands look promising though frost risk remains. Farmers await two to three weeks of warm weather to finish and store grain.
