We are starting off this forecast period a little on the cold side. This cold air has arrived compliments of yet another ridge of arctic high pressure. While we may not like the cold, this area of high pressure has kept a significant winter storm to our south. March tends to be one of the

Streamlining farm subsidies: European Union ministers are considering changing the way farmers receive subsidies. The Czechs plan to launch a debate on how the EU’s complex farm payment system might be altered for the next seven-year budget period, which starts in 2013, Czech Agriculture Minister Petr Gandalovic said. Average levels of direct farm payments vary

La Niña Might Mean Good Crop This Year

By Ron Friesen March 5, 2009

The weather outlook for the 2009 growing season: normal temperatures and precipitation for most of the Prairies. Maybe. A weakening La Nińa effect could mean stable weather over much of the North American grain belt between June and August, with good crops possible, according to Mike Tannura, an American weather analyst. Four of Canada’s five

2009 Continues To Be Cold And Snowy

By Daniel Bezte March 5, 2009

My gut feeling is that we are going to have a March with near-to slightly belowaverage amounts of precipitation. February 2009 turned out to be an unusual month, weather-wise, across agricultural Manitoba. We started off the month like January, with colder-than-a verage conditions, and most people began to resign themselves to the fact that February

It is going to be a tougher-than-usual forecast for this week because there don’t appear to be any large weather systems dominating our forecast. Last week’s ridge of arctic high pressure pushed off to the southeast pretty much as expected and behind the ridge, weak areas of low pressure began moving in from the west.

Last week we talked about arctic high pressure dominating the weather and it looks like the same thing will happen during this forecast period, at least during the first half. It is currently looking like a strong area of arctic high pressure will build southwards over Western Canada during this week. This region of high

Natural Trend Or Global Warming?

By Daniel Bezte February 26, 2009

During the win-ter months the one thing I probably hear the most in regard to global warming and climate change is “how can it be so cold if we are experiencing global warming?” or “we just broke a record low, where’s global warming now?” At first glance these comments kind of make sense. After all,

After a mild and messy start last week, this week it looks like things will be a little more winterlike. High pressure built into the region last weekend, bringing with it some sunshine and more average winterlike temperatures. This area of high pressure ended up keeping a strong storm system well to our south during

China Waters Thirsty Wheat Crop

By Niu Shuping February 19, 2009

China’s main wheat crop may emerge mostly unscathed from a dire drought as Beijing moves to fund last-minute irrigation, reviving crops that might otherwise have been left to die by farmers struggling with low prices and oversupply. A domestic media outcry and public hand-wringing about the severity of the drought triggered some speculation that the

Sometimes you just have to seize a teachable moment and take a break from the normal routine of a class, and this week looks to be just that week. While I’m not sure just what will happen with the storm system that is to move through southern and central Manitoba the first two to four
