Farmers in the east-central region have made good harvest progress this past week with nine per cent of the crop now combined, up from two per cent last week and ahead of the five-year average (2015-2019) of four per cent, according to the province’s most recent crop report.

An additional 17 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut, with the five-year average (2015-2019) being 16 per cent.

For some the work on the farm still means being out in the field baling, as was the case for 77-year-old Rose Kienle who was out August 20, north of Quill Lake.
