AAFC unveils extreme weather tracker

The online tool could be handy when planting and cropping decisions are at hand

By Alex Binkley July 8, 2019

Agriculture Canada has unveiled a new online weather watching tool that will enable farmers to better track extreme weather conditions during the agricultural growing season. Called ‘Extreme Weather Indices,’ the tool was developed in collaboration with Environment Canada’s weather service and should help farmers plan their planting and harvesting operations. Like weather forecasts, the indices

Forecast: And now, your fairly quiet forecast

By Daniel Bezte July 4, 2019

Last week’s forecast played out fairly close to what the weather models predicted. If we see the same thing for this forecast period, expect mostly sunny skies, maybe the odd thundershower, and temperatures right around average for early July. This forecast period will begin with a large upper low dropping into northern Manitoba from the

U.S. grains: Corn, soy ease on warmer weather

By GFM Network News July 1, 2019

Chicago | Reuters — Chicago soybean, corn and wheat futures all settled down on Monday after early strength, as outlooks for improved U.S. weather boosted crop production prospects, analysts said. The August soybean contract on the Chicago Board of Trade settled down 14-3/4 cents at $8.89-3/4 a bushel and new-crop November settled down 14-1/2 cents

Wet conditions this spring made planting quite difficult, especially for corn and soybeans.

Precipitation on the Prairies will steer canola values

By Glen Hallick - MarketsFarm June 27, 2019

In the constant battle between influences weighing on values or providing support for canola bids, last week came down to a battle between our rainfall versus their rainfall. On the Prairies, starting Father’s Day, precipitation brought struggling crops a little bit of a boost at a critical stage in their development. The Prairies have been

Forecast: Warm with the chance of storms

Issued June 24, 2019: Covering the period from June 26 to July 3

By Daniel Bezte June 27, 2019

I’m not sure if I should say this, but it looks more and more like last weekend’s upper low may have finally broken the pattern of colder-than-average temperatures we have been in for several months now. As with all pattern changes, we will have to see if the new warmer pattern can stick, or will

Blocking patterns and summer heat waves

Consistently warm weather may follow if this blocking pattern breaks down next week

By Daniel Bezte June 24, 2019

To begin our look at summer heat waves, with a hope of possibly breaking this cold weather pattern we seem to be stuck in, I thought we should begin by looking at blocking patterns. In early May I talked about upper-level lows, and these blocking patterns can often be associated with these upper lows. We

Forecast: Unsettled, unpredictable weather pattern

Issued June 17, 2019: Covering the period from June 19 to 26

By Daniel Bezte June 20, 2019

Well, last week’s forecast turned out not too bad, considering this annoying weather pattern in which we seem to be stuck. The weather models seem to be having an OK time handling the large-scale features, but are struggling with the day-to-day details. This forecast period looks like it will be another tough one to figure

Excessive rain in parts of the Midwestern U.S. has put the brakes on many farmers' planting plans.

By Alan Guebert June 19, 2019

Most American farmers spent the last week of May and the first week of June either driving through mud or stuck in it. Their two farming partners, Mother Nature and Uncle Sam, were little help; one brought threats of more rain and mud, the other threats of more tariffs and bailouts. Farmers in my neighbourhood,

In this article, we continue our look at severe thunderstorms, and specifically the most deadly part: tornadoes. What are tornadoes and how do they form? A classic definition of a tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground, and which may or may not be visible as
