Harvesting delayed by cooler, wetter weather
Cool wet weather is to blame for varying delays in harvest activities this week across Alberta, according to the latest Crop Report.
Even with the delays, however, 78 per cent of major crops are in the bin, up 18 per cent of last week, and 31 per cent ahead of last year’s progress.
Region Two: Central (Rimbey, Airdrie, Coronation, Oyen) – per the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC)
• Harvest progress up 21 percentage points this week (second most of the five zones)
