Average yields in the Quill Lakes district
MELFORT, Sask. – Producers near the Quill Lakes, 175 kilometres east and south of Saskatoon, Sask. have been dealing with wet conditions for several years.
It’s turning into a very different type of fall, according to farmer Dwight Odelein.
He said it started with about five and a half inches of rain since the first part of May. Then the tap turned off.
“It hasn’t rained much for the last month and I can tell by the crop that an inch of rain or an inch or two a couple of weeks ago would have helped,” he said.
