The weather at the beginning of the season started off a little too wet but as things dried up, Keystone Ag Producers Dan Mazier says, it turned out to be a great year.

“There was a lot of excess moisture and we thought there was going to be another 2011 or 2014. But as it turned out we had some timely rains, routes had a chance to go down this year and it turned out to be a very good growing season, especially for those season or mid-season crops. I would say it’s probably going to be an above average year generally across the board.”

Dan says The Pas has struggled over the year only getting 10 percent of their acres in. Those in the south have fared much better. Soybeans and hemp among other late crops are still needing to come off the field.
