Manitoba has completed more than one-third of its harvest with favorable dry weather conditions that have helped speed up the process. According to the weekly crop report released on Tuesday, the overall harvest progress for all crops in the province stands at 40%, showing a significant increase from 26% the previous week.

The Central Region leads the way with 51% of the harvest completed, followed by the Eastern Region at 47%, the Southwest at 38%, and the Interlake at 34%. The Northwest region has the least progress at 25%.

Pea harvest is almost complete at 98%, while barley and oats are at 76% and 73% respectively. Spring wheat stands at 68% completion, with canola at 30%.

Yield estimates for spring wheat range from 60 to 90 bu/acre, with averages around 70 bu/acre in the Central and Eastern regions. In the north Interlake, yields range from 25 to 55 bu/acre, and up to 70 bu/acre in the south Interlake. Oat yields are estimated between 80-180 bu/acre with good bushel weights, while barley yields range from 90 to 115 bu/acre.

Canola harvest is ongoing in most regions, with swathing and pre-harvest applications in progress. Field pea yields range from 30 to 65 bu/acre, and dry bean harvest has started with some dealers receiving the first loads of beans such as light red kidney, cranberry, black, and pinto beans.

In the Southwest region, good weather conditions including low humidity, above-normal temperatures, and afternoon winds have allowed for a productive harvest period. Meanwhile, in the Northwest region, mixed weather conditions with thunderstorms and hail in some areas have caused varying degrees of crop damage. High day time temperatures have helped crops progress, while some post-harvest field operations are underway.

Manitoba continues its harvest with positive developments in most regions, reflecting the resilience and hard work of farmers in the province.
