Many crops here in the southeast could use some rain.  John McGregor from the Manitoba Agriculture office in Steinbach says moisture is needed to help fill the heads.  He notes the hot, dry weather that is forecast this week could lead to heat stress.  McGregor expects swathing of early winter wheat to begin by the weekend.  Meantime, he tells us the second cut of hay is coming off in good shape.
