Crop Report July 21 to July 27, 2026

The article reports that Saskatchewan’s crop development is being accelerated by hot, dry weather. It notes that hot and dry conditions are speeding up the growth of crops in the province, including canola near Regina.

The article reports Saskatchewan's weekly crop report noting that hot, humid weather helped behind-development crops in wet areas but dried out crops in drier areas, with overall mixed conditions across cereals, oilseeds, and pulses. It also states that topsoil moisture decreased overall, rainfall was limited (10–25 mm in parts), fungicide spraying…

Nutrien launched a new plant nutrition bio-solution called Terramar for the 2026 growing season, designed to support nutrient uptake and help crops manage environmental stress and protect yield potential. Trials in Western Canada (canola, wheat, corn) reported over 70% positive ROI, with talks of best application timing and mode of action.

The Saskatchewan pulse crops face heat and disease risk as temperatures rise above 30°C after wet conditions, with risks including heat blast and foliar diseases such as ascochyta on chickpeas and anthracnose on lentils. Pulse crop development is varied due to earlier flooding, with 76% in normal development, 21% behind, and 3% ahead as of July 20, and…

The article reports that heavy rains in Saskatchewan have caused waterlogged pulse crops, with some fields experiencing yellowing, browning, and yield loss where flooding occurred. It notes that as heat follows the wet period, daytime temps above 30 C increase risk of heat damage and foliar diseases, and highlights variability by location, with some…

The article reports that Saskatchewan farmer Jared Haight is optimistic about his crop this year, with fields of durum and canola looking strong at roughly mid-season. It also notes uncertainty ahead from weather, pests, and notably rising fuel costs influenced by tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, which Haight says could significantly impact his farming…

The article reports that heavy rains in Saskatchewan caused flooding and waterlogged pulses, with crop damage including yellowing, browning, and yield loss in affected areas. As conditions shift from wet to hot (temperatures over 30°C), pulses face increased risk of heat stress and foliar diseases, potentially delaying development in northern regions and…

The article reports that warmer and drier weather in much of Saskatchewan has allowed haying to progress, with half of the hay crop cut and 28% baled or silaged, 29% in the cut stage, and 43% still in the field. It also notes that hay quality remains good to excellent (89%), but localized storms, disease risk from humidity, and crop damage from flooding,…
