Rains Relieve Drought But More Needed For Pastures
A Dominion crop bulletin notes recent rains eased drought in parts of Ontario Manitoba and the prairie region but much more rainfall is needed to restore pastures. Harvesting is nearly finished with weather delays and wheat deliveries rising to a peak. Quality is good with high protein though yields vary. Rust and white rusts spread little due to early ripening. Coarse grains underperform across the prairies and pastures remain depleted. Roughages are adequate in Manitoba but Alberta and Saskatchewan suffer forage shortages as farmers gather Russian thistle for winter feed. Some hail hit late crops near Calgary and Lethbridge.
