Almost half the crop seeded in Saddle Hills County

The ag. fieldman for Saddle Hills County estimates seeding is 40-50 per cent complete in the area. 

Kathrin Langlois says the weather has cooperated as Saddle Hills County has not had as much rain as other areas.

Langlois says the breakdown by crop is 55-60 per cent for cereals, 70 per cent for pulse crops, and about 20 per cent for both canola and oats. 

She doesn’t think any farmers changed cropping intentions because of markets or tariffs, adding that “fertilizer prices are very high right now, but people seem to be getting through it.”
