The. white beans were also of
good quality and the yields were
better than last year.
The spring started out like 1992
but. can no longer be compared to
that cold, wet year. According to
Good; the moisture levels were 35
and 50 per cent in '92 but are down
at 28 per cent this year.
He estimates the soybeans are 99
per cent off_and corn is nearly 25
per cent off.
The OMAFRA crop update also'
states' the majority of the winter
wheat has been planted and with
the. nice weather, it was up in a
week. The acreage is. up somewhat
from last year hut not as much
wheat was planted as the weather
would have allowed.
Fair weather and healthy- prices
are all that are still needed for the
remainder of the corn harvest:
