The southwest is furthest ahead with 70 per cent of the crop in the ground. Next is the southeast at 64 per cent, the northwest at 56 per cent, west-central at 53 per cent, east-central at 30 per cent and 29 per cent in the northeast.
Moisture is still needed in some areas of the province, though 77 per cent is rated as accurate. Six per cent is rated as surplus, 13 per cent is short and four per cent is very short.
