Farmers are working on bringing in the harvest as the weather cooperates.

Last week's hot, dry weather also brought its share of thunderstorm activity with strong winds and hail which caused some lodging in crops. The Nipawin area had the most rainfall, with 42 mm, followed by the North Battleford and Consul areas with 30 mm and 28 mm, respectively. A number of other areas around the province are also seeing some scattered showers.

The Ministry of Agriculture's weekly crop report shows 12 per cent of the provincial crop has been combined; the majority of that is in the south west where 23 per cent of the crop is off. The southeast is at 14 per cent, the east central is at 11 per cent, the west central region is at six per cent, with harvest just starting to get underway in the north.
