It’s been about 10 days since combines have been able to hit the fields, thanks to the snow and rain that hit many areas. Some were lucky and took in some much-needed moisture but others saw snow that has covered some fields. Up in the Rosetown-Kindersley region, they were hit with about 15 centimetres.

Crops Extension Specialist John Ippolito says prior to September 12th when the wet cool weather started, crop quality was good but that’s likely to change.

"Canola wise, probably no impact on the oilseeds, canola and flax. The cereal grains will be a downgrade but how severe it is, is yet to be seen but we would expect to see all the cereal grains lose at least a grade after this weather."

Ippolito says the heavy, wet snow has caused some crops to be pushed down so farmers are going to have to cut fairly low to the ground to be able to harvest it.

The new forecast is also calling for a chance of more snow this weekend. Weather officials are just starting to track a system that's moving our way bringing cool air and moisture.

The system could arrive Saturday night or Sunday morning and the overnight chill could result in snow. As we warm up Sunday afternoon, any snow we do receive will likely disappear, changing to rain.
