The wet weather has been creating serious problems for producers, and the roadways they travel.
RM of Dauphin Reeve Ernie Sirski is increasingly concerned about the moisture.
"The first thing it does is impact our roads. it wasn't just the rain, but it was also that snow fell last Thursday-Friday. Snow is actually worse than rain because snow doesn't run off, it just sits there."
These roads have proven tough to maintain, as the machinery to repair the ruts can barely make it through the soggy conditions.
Sirski also mentioned that some river crossings have also needed repairs multiple times.
The heavy rain has also been pushing seeding time frames to an uncomfortable limit.
"We're fighting an inadvertent amount of water here right now. we had a great start on April 28th, had a couple of days off, and then a week where we really had great seeding conditions and then it just got miserable."
With seeding just past the 50% mark for much of the northwest region, a time crunch has become very apparent for local producers.
