More rain activity Thursday night in some areas of the province.

One of the hardest hit areas in the province was around the Estevan area where tennis ball sized hail was reported.

Daphne Cruise is a crops extension specialist and says farmers are out evaluating the damage but notes it could take up to a week before they know if crops may recover:

"Things to look for is a new green growing point in things like canola but of course if they get smashed to the ground and the stems get broken off, there's not a lot of recovery that can happen with that crop."

She notes pulses have a below ground node so there is the potential for it to re-grow from that point that didn’t see damage from the hail.

With crops that may have been wiped out by the hail, producers will need to evaluate their options and may look at seeding a crop for silage or green feed.

 Cruise says depending on the crop and the severity of the damage it could recover.

"On a Hail damaged crop is it going to come back," she said. "There is the more potential risk for disease because you do have those stems that are either damaged or broken open and those are a point now for disease to enter and could potentially be a risk for the crop and now you're looking at maybe a fungicide application to help those crops along."

Farmers will want to look for a new green growing point in Canola, while Pulse crops like Lentils have a below ground node where the crop can regrow from.
