The harvest in Manitoba is 55 percent complete, according to the province’s weekly crop report.

However, in northwest Manitoba, only 39 percent of the crop is in the bin, while the southwest is at 52 percent done.

Harvest continues in spring cereals and canola.

Yield reports range from 25 to 90 bu/acre in spring wheat, 80 to 180 bu/acre in oat, and 90 to 115 bu/acre in barley.

Canola harvest continues and is approximately 49% complete.

Corn crops continue to develop rapidly with cobs in the dent growth stage and milk lines moving down
kernels as they approach physiological maturity.

Earlier seeded sunflower fields are moving into the R9 (bracts becoming yellow and brown, physiological maturity) growth stage while later seeded fields are well into the R8 growth stage (back of the head fully yellow, bracts remaining green).

Overall crop condition is considered good.
