Some farmers in the southeast are waiting for a few crisp, sunny days to complete the harvest of late season crops.

Seed grower Marc Hutlet from Ste. Anne says there's not much crop left to be combined. "The majority of it is done. We're probably down to the last 5-10 per cent. There's a little bit of sunflowers out there yet but they seem to be standing okay. Hopefully we can capture a few cold, sunny days and people can get out there and do it."

Looking ahead to next spring, Hutlet says farmers here in the southeast are talking about planting more corn and soybeans and less canola. He explains, "From the early signals so far, local producers will be planting more corn. The industry is having trouble supplying the amount of corn that is needed because of the drought in the U.S. Soybeans will be going up within our area, not dramatically, because we've had a heavy rotation of soybeans here for a few years, but they'll be going up. Canola will probably go down somewhat."
