Seeding is well under way across the province, including on the farm of Jeff and Kristina Just west of Yorkton.  

Jeff and daughter Jillian and son Matthew were planting wheat, and keeping a collective eye on the sky hoping for rain, as conditions are already dry in the area, and across most of the Canadian Prairies.  

According to the May 4-10 Crop Report issued by the province seeding was up to 38 per cent complete, and with sunny weather the wheels have kept moving so the number will only be increasing. For the week the 38 per cent was well ahead of the five-year average (2016-2020) of 22 per cent.
