Harvest operations advanced to 96 per cent complete in Alberta as of Oct. 7, with only a few late-seeded cereal and canola fields remaining.
That's according to the latest provincial crop report.
The harvest progress compares with the five-year average of 93 per cent done.
Peas were fully harvested, while spring wheat, barley and oats were “virtually complete.”
Canola was 92 per cent combined, six points ahead of the five-year average.
The report says fall-seeded crop progress remained closely tied to soil moisture conditions, with 34 per cent of fall seeded crops in good to excellent condition.
That was down six points from the previous week.
Yield estimates for the major crops were generally above the five-year average, according to the report.
