With farmers keeping a close eye on conditions with harvest just around the corner, the Saskatchewan government is giving weekly updates on the state of the Saskatchewan agricultural landscape.

These weekly reports are put together by volunteers who report the conditions on their own farms to give the province a clearer picture.

Week seven of Name That Tune was a success and Gabe Zerbin walked away with a gift card to Humboldt Sobeys. 

He was the first to text in with the correct song scoring him a $50.00 Humboldt Sobeys gift card and chose to stay safe and walk away. Which was the correct move as the next song was a hard one for him.

Listen to the replay below.

You could be next to play tune in Friday mornings to hear the song of the day.
