Crops are progressing well with warm days, high nighttime temperatures and general rainfalls across the province.
Significant rain in the Moose Jaw region varied from 32 mm to 62 mm. Marquis led with 62 mm, Avonlea had 40 mm and Eyebrow had 32 mm.
Rain delayed some of the little seeding left. Only four per cent of the land remains unseeded, according to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture crop report for the Week ended June 5.
Much of the unseeded land in low places are needing water to evaporate first.
Cropland soil moisture conditions improved with only 15 per cent short or very short.
Hay and pastureland topsoil moisture is five per cent surplus, 75 per cent adequate, 17 per cent short and three per cent very short.
Forty-two per cent of the fall cereal crops are emerging with 12 per cent in the heading stage. Canola crops are 42 per cent emerged, flax is 34 per cent up and almost half of pulse crops are growing out.
Some grasshopper damage was noted during the week.
