Despite Likely Record Drought Year Harvest Underway - Photo Essay
The drought of 2021 may still be setting weather records, but despite this local farmers are now going full steam ahead when it comes to the harvest.
According to the latest provincial crop report (August 3rd - August 9th) the warmer weather has helped crops mature and seven percent of the crop was in the bin and six percent was ready for straight combining.
The harvest locally is now in full swing with local area farmers busy with combining attempting to beat potential wet weather predicted for this Tuesday - Thursday.
Below are a series of photos taken late Saturday afternoon of the harvest underway and combines reaching the end of another round of the field about 10 miles north and east of Moose Jaw.
