'Considering the circumstances ... this is best-case scenario,' Cole Cusitar said.
In this week’s crop report, Sask. Agriculture says seeding is 99 per cent complete.
Strong winds continued throughout the province this week and the drying conditions have some producers concerned about moisture conditions.
The rain was welcome in most areas, but more is needed in some other regions.
Most regions received rainfall this week, but producers in the southern and central regions are in need of moisture. There were also reports of localized flooding in areas that received significant amounts of rain in a short period of time.
Areas around Humboldt received the highest amount of rain this week with 71 mm.
Provincially, 79 per cent of fall cereals, 70 per cent of spring cereals, 63 per cent of oilseed crops and 80 per cent of pulse crops are at normal development for this time of year.
The majority of crop conditions across the province range from fair to good. With recent rains, farmers are hopeful that conditions will improve.
Most of the crop damage this week was due to strong winds, cutworms and flea beetles. Certain parts of the province that did not receive much rain last week reported damage from dry soil conditions.
Cold temperatures throughout the province also resulted in damage from frost and hail in some areas.
