Grasshopper and rain frustrating farmers
MELFORT, Sask. – It’s another challenge for farmers in the middle of the harvest season.
According to the latest crop report from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, there have been multiple reports of grain samples being denied at the elevator because they contain grasshoppers.
Producers are being reminded they must clean their grain thoroughly before taking it to the elevator to sell.
Other causes of crop damage came from heavy rain, some hail, and strong winds.
