Farmers slowly start seeding
Seeding is underway in many parts of the province.
The first crop report of the year from the Ministry of Agriculture indicated seven per cent of seeding is done. This is just below the five-year average of nine per cent for this time of year.
Only two per cent of the crop has been seeded in the east-central and northwest regions and less than one per cent in the northeast.
Crop extension specialist Sara Tetland said the delayed spring has hampered field operations.
