Final crop report of the year shows Saskatchewan has seen yields improve this year

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture released its final crop report of the year, summing up the final week from October 15 to 21.

As of now, producers across Saskatchewan have finished up the harvest with 100 per cent of the crop in the bin.

Early into the season in May and June, many areas received above-average rainfall which could have led to a later harvest. However, hot and dry conditions caused crops to rapidly mature which caused harvest to take place earlier than expected.
