Harvest underway across southern area with varied progress
Paterson Grains reports harvest in the St Lazare area and southern zones is underway. About 15 percent of wheat is cut near St Lazare with winter wheat largely harvested, while canola and peas show 25 to 50 percent and starting to come off. Farther toward Binscarth and Fussell winter wheat is partly harvested and canola light, with nearby fields yielding early barley. Near Inglis the work slows as weather or field conditions differ.
