Kevin ToewsA farmer at New Bothwell is hoping for a good week of dry weather. Kevin Toews is part of Osterwick Farms, a mixed operation that grows 1,500 acres of crops in addition to having laying hens and hogs. He says they got a good start on the harvest but there's a lot more to do as soon as it's dry enough.

"We're done the winter wheat and the fall rye. We're into the spring wheat, canola is all down, ready to be combined and we're just trying to catch up. With all the rains, the canola has been lying for quite awhile already and the spring wheat has been ready for combining for over a week but we just haven't been able to get in there."

Toews says the regular rains have made for muddy fields and are also preventing the wheat from drying down to the point where it can be put into bins for storage. He adds, if the rains hold off, they should be able to get caught up by the middle of next week.
