Province highlighting safety as spring seeding continues
The Government of Saskatchewan is reminding the public to be cautious when approaching farm machinery on provincial roadways – as warm conditions have allowed producers to get in the field earlier.
According to the first annual crop report, seeding across the province is already 18 per cent complete, with those in the southwest flying far ahead with 43 per cent of crops in the ground.
Minimal precipitation this spring has also assisted the early jump on seeding.
Progress in the field also means a more visible presence on highways and grid roads across Saskatchewan. The province is encouraging patience when it comes to encountering producers.
'Producers have wasted no time getting into the field and making a lot of progress in the past few weeks, and we should keep in mind that this work will only ramp up in the days ahead,' Agriculture Minister Daryl Harrison said in a statement.
