ONTARIO's WHEAT CROP 7-10 Days Ahead of Normal

The maturation of the 2010 Ontario wheat crop is running 7-10 days ahead of normal.The overly warm month of April is responsible for making this occur.Most of the SW Ontario wheat crop will head over the next week.Much of Essex and Kent Countys' crop is already in head.It generally takes 6 weeks from heading to when combines start rolling.The above photo was taken Wed May 19 just west of Ridgetown.
Average to just slightly above average yields are expected.
