Farmers harvesting crops across the province made big gains thanks to warm and dry weather.
The provincial crop report said 62 per cent of crops in Saskatchewan have been combined, up from 43 per cent last week and well ahead of the five-year average of 48 per cent.
Warm and dry weather is needed to continue drying down crops, especially in the northwest region, where only 18 per cent of crops have been harvested. The southwest region leads the province with 90 per cent progress.
The southeast has 77 per cent combined, the west-central area is 61 per cent complete, the east-central region is 51 per cent done and the northeast is now 33 per cent combined.
An extra 27 per cent of crops are swathed or ready to straight-cut.
Frost caused damage to later seeded and less mature crops.
Most of the province received very little rainfall this past week. The Nipawin area led the province with roughly 25 millimetres in rainfall. Topsoil moisture conditions are worsening due to strong winds and little rain.
The province is warning producers and drivers to be cautious with the added traffic for combining, swathing, hauling bales and moving cattle.
