A weather system moved through Saskatchewan this week bringing strong winds and mixed precipitation, slowing seeding progress considerably. Seeding is currently 29 per cent complete, up 13 per cent from last week but still well behind the five-year average of 55 per cent.

Despite the delays, all regions made progress. The southwest leads at 55 per cent complete, while the northeast is just getting started at 3 per cent.

Pulse crops are the most advanced with field peas and lentils at 53 per cent, while canola sits at 15 per cent and spring wheat at 25 per cent.

The moisture picture is looking good. Several areas received significant rainfall, with Dundurn recording 83mm. Topsoil moisture is adequate to surplus across most of the province.
