Crop Report Describes Western Wheat Growth and Weather
The weekly crop report notes generally close weather with showers and winds across the Western wheat belt. Manitoba is 100 percent seeded. Saskatchewan and Alberta range 33 to 95 percent. Early wheat shows good germination, pasture lands are in fair condition, and warmer weather is needed to boost growth. Seeding varies by district with 90 percent of wheat sown in Saskatchewan’s Regina area, though coarse grains seedings lag due to poor weather. All regions report best conditions in years for this season, though growth remains slow due to cool temperatures.

Birds of a feather crop wise in orchard and barn
The article describes birds roles in farming systems. Woodpeckers help by eating wood-boring insect larvae and swallows curb flying pests, while orioles mainly eat caterpillars but may damage soft fruits. It urges encouraging barn nesting by providing mud and shelves and small entrance holes.
Birds Do More Good Than Harm In Crops
Birds save millions in crop losses yearly by eating insects. Fruit raisers often misjudge robins as cherry eaters though robins mainly target pests.
