HAPPY SASKATCHEWAN DAY WEEKEND!
Happy Saskatchewan Day!
On the first Monday of August, the Civic/Provincial Day has a different significance in the different provinces of Canada. The Minister of Labour Gordon Snyder first proposed Saskatchewan Day. The holiday first came into regulation on 17th March 1975. Business sectors were already celebrating the holiday but Snyder wanted it as a statutory holiday. In June 1975 the day was first approved and a few weeks later it took place.
I hope you are able to spend an awesome time with family and friends as we celebrate Saskatchewan Day! Enjoy exploring and celebrating our beautiful province this long weekend. Warm wishes to each of you on this special weekend.

CROP REPORT FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 24 TO JULY 31
Harvest is beginning with combines becoming a frequent site in the west-central and southwest regions of Saskatchewan. Many other areas of the province are preparing for harvest operations as the hot and dry conditions continue and the crops ripen. Producers are hoping for rain once the crops are off to help replenish soil moisture for next year.
Rain was received in the north this past week, as pockets of moisture moved through the region. Reports of hail were also received in some areas. The most rain recorded was in the Prince Albert area with 53 mm and the Shellbrook region also recorded significant moisture with 47 mm reported this week. Other areas of the province received some precipitation, with many reporting only trace amounts. Hot temperatures persisted this week, which, coupled with the lack of rain, caused a decrease in soil moisture. Provincially, cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 13 per cent adequate, 49 per cent short and 38 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land is very similar, where 11 per cent has adequate moisture, 42 per cent is short and 47 per cent is very short.
