Saskatchewan farmers taking chance on winter wheat
The seeds are planted in northeastern Saskatchewan for what could be a better crop in 2018.
The Western Winter Wheat Innitiative is forecasting more acres of winter wheat to be seeded this year than past years with Carrot River reporting higher activity.
Jason Hood is the terminal operations manager at the Richard Pioneer Office in Carrot River. He said there were a lot of unseeded acres this year due to the spring being too wet.
“There are more guys wanting to try something new, get something seeded because they haven’t had anything seeded for a while,” he said.
