Canadian wheat, canola crops seen weathering snow

By ,
Winnipeg | Reuters — Canada’s wheat and canola crops withstood wintry weather that stalled the autumn harvest, and production topped last year’s output, according to Reuters’ industry survey of 13 analysts and traders. Statistics Canada on Tuesday will issue its final crop production estimates for the 2016-17 marketing year. The industry expects, on average, all-wheat

Once again the weather models got the general pattern correct, but as usual, the weather is in the details. Last week’s weather models showed another Colorado low developing and tracking south of us during the first half of the week. Fast-forward a few days and now that same Colorado low is expected to spin out

Forecast: Pattern expected to shift, but just slightly

Issued November 21, 2016 – Covering the period from November 23 to November 30, 2016

By
Last week’s forecast was a little bit of a bust. The forecasted storm system did form as expected, but by last Wednesday, the weather models had come to an agreement on a much more southerly path and that is what ended up happening.

Forecast: Winter storm with shift in patterns?

Issued November 14, 2016 – Covering the period from November 16 to November 23, 2016

By
After a record-breaking warm first half of November, it’s looking more and more like we’ll see a shift in the overall weather pattern during this forecast period.

Excess moisture issue for remaining canola

Late season canola harvesting could mean difficulties for those trying to lower moisture levels

By
While most Manitoba canola growers already have their crops in the bin, some producers have been caught by late-season precipitation, including snow. “There is the odd field that is unharvested and most of those acres would be concentrated in the northern part of Manitoba — when we look farther south and east the vast majority

Forecast: Chances of rain beyond the weekend

Issued October 17, 2016 – Covering the period from October 19 to October 26, 2016

By
Not that this summer’s weather was very predictable, but fall and spring tend to be notorious periods for accurate forecasting. During these periods, the atmosphere is changing due to the rapid shift in incoming solar radiation (that is, sunlight). We saw this over the last forecast period, as a western low developed as expected, but
As the harvest window continues to shrink, getting remaining crops off the field before winter sets in is causing farmers to worry about poor prices due to lower quality.

Wet North America harvest adds pressure for farmers

Cropland is soaking wet as harvest time winds down

By ,
Manitoba farmers aren’t alone when it comes to grappling with a rainy harvest.

A mild winter and early melt hasn’t hurt the winter wheat crop, 
but competition from new varieties has hit acreage

By
The return of snow cover and colder weather have winter wheat growers heaving a sigh of relief — but they’re still uncertain about the long-term future of the crop. Ken Gross, Ducks Unlimited agronomist for the group’s winter wheat initiative, said a couple of weeks ago his phone was ringing off the hook as temperatures
