As milder temperatures melt off the last of the snow in the fields across southeast Saskatchewan, producers like Dale Paslawski near Weyburn are getting ready for another season in the fields. While seeding is still a few weeks away, the conditions are shaping up nicely. 

“We've melted off pretty good here,” Paslawski said. “It's been kind of a dragged-out spring. We didn't get as much runoff as I thought we would, but field conditions are looking absolutely perfect.” 

An accident involving an impaired driver last Tuesday was reported to the Weyburn Police Service by a witness of the incident. An impaired man crashed into a fence, taking out a street sign in the process.
