Seasonal Crop Summary
June 24, 2025
Northwest Region
The entire Northwest region received precipitation this week. Overnight temperatures remained cool, with The Pas station recording the lowest temperature at 7°C.
Herbicide applications continue as crop stages are reached.
Fall rye and winter wheat crops are wrapping up the flowering stage. The most advanced spring wheat is at the beginning of head emergence and the remainder of the crop is in the tillering to stem elongation stage.
Field peas are growing well, and recent rains will benefit the crops. Most field peas are in the vegetative stage with the most advanced moving into the R1 stage. Where moisture is lacking, some crops appear short. Soybeans are in the V2 to V3 stage.
Canola varies across the region. Depending on seeding date and moisture conditions for germination, crop stages vary greatly. Earliest seeded crops are in the rosette stage and near bolting. The remainder of the crops continue behind, ranging from 2 to 6 leaf.
Provincial Overview
Isolated rainfall and thunderstorms resulted in varying amounts of precipitation over the past week with accumulations ranging from 0.9 mm to 65.1 mm. Most regions received more than 6 mm of rain. Sprague Lake received the most rain this week with 65.1 mm
Climate normals for total accumulated precipitation from May 1 to June 22 range from 93.4 mm to 157.8mm and are based on 30-year historical data. Even with recent rainfall, the East, Interlake and large parts of the Northwest have accumulations under 60% of normal. While accumulations in the Southwest and parts of the Central regions are closer to normal, only a few locations have accumulated more than 90% of the 30-year average since May 1.
Percent Normal Accumulated Growing Degree Days represents the variation of accumulated Growing Degree Days (GDD) historical record over a 30-year period from May 1 to June 22, 2025. Above normal temperatures early in the season have resulted in GDD accumulations above 110% of normal for the majority of agro-Manitoba.
