# Above-average yields highlight strong growing season for west-central Saskatchewan farmers

> West-central Saskatchewan farmers are reporting above-average yields for most crops, generally good grain quality and favourable soil moisture heading into winter. Timely rainfall supported crop development, though excess moisture, disease and insect pressure caused problems in some fields; winter wheat, triticale, oats and some pulse crops yielded slightly below provincial averages.

## Why it matters

Strong yields point to ample local crop supplies, which can weigh on prices for affected grains. The report also notes below-average yields for oats and winter wheat, tempering that supply signal for those crops.
