Today our Grain Rush took us to the Douglas Farm north of McTaggart.  They were combining durum today, and stopped for a few minutes for a delicious lunch from KFC in Weyburn!

Trevor Douglas told us they expect to combine 250 acres today, and they're pretty happy with how the crop is coming off so far in Harvest 2022.  They got started September 1st, and are about 25% complete as of Noon today.

All the best to the Douglas family, and all other SE Saskatchewan producers, with the 2022 Harvest!

A massive four-day manhunt came to an end north of Saskatoon on Wednesday as RCMP took into custody Myles Sanderson, a fugitive suspect in a deadly series of stabbings that left an entire region on edge and families immersed in grief.

A source with knowledge of the investigation said Sanderson died after he was taken into custody. RCMP were preparing to hold an evening news conference.

RCMP say they don't know which direction two suspects at the centre of a manhunt may have headed and have continued an emergency alert spanning three provinces. 

A dangerous person alert was first issued in Saskatchewan on Sunday for Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30. The RCMP alleges they are responsible for a string of stabbings that resulted in 10 deaths and over a dozen people injured in multiple locations. The initial alert was extended to Manitoba and Alberta. 

An RCMP alert is being extended from Saskatchewan to Manitoba and Alberta. 

A Dangerous Person Alert is in place after multiple stabbing incidents were reported on Sunday, Sept. 4, in various locations, including James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon, Saskatchewan. 

Police say the two male suspects are named Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson. 

Police are investigating after a 66-year-old man died from serious injuries inside a West End suite.

Upon arrival, officers located the male deceased. He has since been identified as Son Minh Nguyen, a 66-year-old male of Winnipeg, and his death is believed to be a homicide.
