Those in the Oakville area are seeing mixed results during this year's harvest. That's from Corey Murray as he continues to bring his crops in. After some significant rain earlier in the year, many harvests across southern Manitoba became delayed, and a wet spring has also had an impact. He describes this year's crop as variable, noting they're wheat harvest seems to vary from 30 to 70 bushels per acre.

Overall Murray says they'll probably see yields lower than last year, but notes they do have some strong numbers outside of their wheat crops.

"It will probably be a decrease for us last year. We had pretty good weather here last year around the Oakville area. Canola is pretty good, we're getting around 42 bushels an acre for it, and oats are about 155."

It's not just the size of the crop that varied throughout his fields, he says the quality is also mixed. He says they're wheat ranges from feed grade to high protein content around 14 per cent.

The variability of the crop mirrors early estimations from provincial officials. Manitoba Agriculture cereal specialist Pam De Rocquigny previously noted the excess precipitation throughout the summer had caused yield variations for most crops, including spring cereal crops and canola. Manitoba Agriculture's crop report currently indicates spring wheat yield vary from 30 to 90 bushels per acre, and canola between 10 and 55 bushels per acre, similar numbers to what's been seen by Murray.
