Moisture is still a problem for farmers in Alberta’s Northwest.
Crop Conditions are at 22%, rated Good to Excellent, which is by far, the lowest percentage in the province.
Sub-surface moisture is improved to 35% in the area, up from 27% the week before.
Meanwhile, the first cut of Dryland Hay is almost complete, producers are not expecting a second cut during the harvest.
Grasshoppers are still being a pest, as 6% of fields in the region are over threshold, which is 15+ per square metre.
