Producers are expected to bring in another large crop, despite the fact that heavy rain, winds and hail damaged some of the crop.

Bruce Burnett, a weather and crop specialist with G3 Canada says about 40% of the Prairie production is in while here in Saskatchewan progress is at about 32% in the bin.

He notes a key concern with all the rain has been disease issues:

"Durum seems to be impacted the most by fusarium - it's very much a regional issue.

In some areas the damage isn't all that great, but in other areas we're seeing severe damage and downgrading due to fusarium levels," he said.

Provincially about 94% of winter wheat, 85% of field peas, 65% of lentils, 26% of the durum, 23% of spring wheat and 17% of the canola has been combined.

Yields are estimated to be above the 5 and 10 year averages for most crops, with the exception of lentils.
