2025 Saskatchewan Crop Report

Final days to wrap up the Saskatchewan harvest

Oct 16, 2025 | 1:47 PM

Harvest is essentially done in Saskatchewan as 98 per cent of this year’s crop has been combined.

Each region is roughly two to three per cent away from being completely done.

Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Crops Extension Specialist Tyce Masich said a few acres of oilseed crops remain in the field.

“So, to put numbers to it, 98 per cent of canola has been harvested, 95 per cent of mustard, 87 per cent of flax, 88 per cent of chickpeas, and 83 per cent of soybeans. Mainly just those oilseed and chickpeas are what’s left in the field,” Masick said.

All other pulse, spring cereal, and winter cereal crop types have been harvested. Masich said any crop that’s left standing had minor damage due to wind, frost, snow, wildlife and migratory birds.

Sunday brought a mix of rain and snow to eastern areas of the province while the west didn’t get much moisture. The northeast region had the most precipitation with the Strasbourg area recording 52 millimetres, followed by the Archerwill area at 50 mm and the Arborfield region with 43 mm.

Masich said the precipitation is welcomed at this point in the season as it will bring up topsoil moisture levels for crop, hay, and pasture land.

Crop reporters also got information on winter feed supplies for livestock producers. Masich says supply is good overall.

Sunday’s precipitation stopped any field work including spraying for weeds, applying fertilizer, and harrowing fields. Livestock producers are busy moving cattle home for the winter, hauling bales and marketing livestock. Servicing equipment continues.

There won’t be a crop report for the period of Oct. 14 to 20. Masich said this will allow time for information gathering in preparation for the large comprehensive report of the 2025 growing season.

“It’s a large summary of everything that happens throughout the growing season provincially and then as well by region as well. We’ll be including the typical weekly data like topsoil moisture, rainfall, that sort of thing,” he said. “But then we’ll also be including crop grades, crop yields and overall, how the growing season went in different regions.”

The last Crop Report of 2025 will be released Oct. 30.
