Saskatchewan's Ministry of Agriculture has released its first crop report of the season. So far, 18 per cent of the provincial crop is now in the ground. That’s ahead of the five-year average (2020-2024) of 10 per cent and the 10-year average (2015-2024) of 12 per cent. 

Crop Extension Specialist Meghan Rosso says farmers are making good progress.

Diesel is a gentle giant and a total love bug who adores people of all ages. He’s previously enjoyed off-leash dog parks, and with a proper introduction, we believe he could live happily with another dog.
