Snow and rain delay seeding

        I drove around Eastern Manitoba the past two days where the rain has been pouring down. Farms have had two inches or more in the past week, rain they didn't need. Seeding will be delayed for days. I was at the farm of Jeff Tkachyk of Elm Creek. He has 1,200 or his 3,500 acres seeded and he's on hold now for days for sure. Maybe a week.

Kevin Elmy from Saltcoats in Eastern Saskatchewan sent this photo, taken this morning. He writes: "I thought I would drop you a picture of the snow this AM from the Yorkton area. This is going to set seeding back at least a week, and may cause a bunch of reseeding of early seeded crops."
