Pulse growers urge low moisture management for seeding

Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers has some  advice on planting in dry conditions

By Alexis Stockford May 8, 2018

For pulse growers used to planting into wet conditions, it’s going to be a year for recalibrating their seeding practices. The Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG) has put the word out for producers to watch herbicide carry-over, salinity, and adjust tillage and seeding practices given lacklustre rainfalls in 2017 and snow-bare winter.

By GFM Network News, Michael Hirtzer March 16, 2018

Chicago | Reuters — Chicago wheat futures dropped to a 2-1/2-week low on Friday on outlooks for rains by this weekend that should alleviate stress on some crops in the parched U.S. Plains growing region, traders said. CBOT May contract wheat settled down 11 cents at $4.67-3/4 per bushel, bringing the losses for the week

Cool, later-spring forecast for Prairies

More moisture is in the forecast too, but it needs to be timely to help crops

By Allan Dawson March 7, 2018

Western Canadian farmers can expect a cool, later-than-normal spring, according to a forecast from DTN Progressive Farmer and WeatherFarm. While that means a later start to spring seeding and the risk of a late-spring frost, the silver lining is it will help conserve the limited moisture coming from a smaller-than-normal snowpack. Although Western Canada is

A look at snow and super-cooled water

The water in our atmosphere has to be colder than 0 C before it’s cold enough to freeze

By Daniel Bezte October 24, 2017

As we slowly work our way toward winter and several locations across the Prairies have seen snow, I thought it might be time to revisit the icy topic of snow. Instead of jumping straight into our discussion we’ll look at the process that creates precipitation in cold clouds, which, in our part of the world,

Another growing season comes to an end

By Daniel Bezte October 6, 2017

Another month has come and gone and it’s time to look back at our weather so far this fall. To start off, we saw the end of the growing season across most regions last week, as temperatures fell just below freezing last Thursday morning. I know at my place the thermometer measured an overnight low

Forecast: Expect more unsettled but mild weather

Issued September 18, 2017: Covering the period from September 20 to 27

By Daniel Bezte September 21, 2017

The first part of last week’s forecast played out fairly close to what the weather models predicted. The main area of low pressure and the associated rainfall moved through our region late last Friday. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your perspective, the main rainfall stayed to our south and east, with most areas seeing between

As we hit the second full week of September there has been another Category 4 hurricane to hit the U.S. mainland; this time it was hurricane Irma. Irma made landfall near Marco Island, Florida early on Sept. 10. While the damage inflicted by Irma looks to be significant, the storm will not bring the torrential

Forecast: Continued warm, but wetter

Issued September 11, 2017: Covering the period from September 13 to 20

By Daniel Bezte September 14, 2017

The weather models were surprisingly accurate over the last week or two, thanks in part to a fairly persistent ridge of high pressure. For this forecast period it looks like we will see a shift in our overall weather pattern. The question is whether this will be a temporary shift or a more permanent one.
