Jun 10, 2022 | 1:19 PM

The June 7 crop report from Alberta Agriculture says 93.9 per cent of the crop in the Peace had been seeded by that date.

That is the same as the five-year average for this time of year.

Seeding progress was at 2.5 per cent as of May 17. The new report says it was because of the “action and efficiency ” of farmers in the Peace that so much progress has been made since.

The breakdown by crop plant as of June 7 is:

All of the dry peas
94.5 per cent of the spring wheat
93.8 per cent of the canola
89.1 per cent of the barley
86.8 per cent of the oats
