Harvest a week or two behind normal in most of Alberta

Sep 17, 2019 | 11:07 AM

Harvest in Alberta is quite a bit behind the five-year average for this time of year, but only a little bit behind last year.

As of September 10th, 2019, provincially, about 16 per cent of all crops had been combined.

That compares to 17 per cent a year ago and the five-year average of 23 per cent.

The delay in harvest progress is attributed to generally below normal temperatures for a large part of the province, especially in the northeast, northwest and central regions.
