Wet weather promotes foot rot

Experts warn to be on the lookout for foot rot as recent weather conditions 
have been ideal for the growth of the bacteria

Keep a weather eye out for foot rot.

Forecast: Warm fall weather to continue

Issued October 31, 2016 – Covering the period from November 2 to November 9, 2016

By
I’m not sure if this will be a good-news or bad-news forecast. With many regions having wet fields, a number of farmers to whom I’ve spoken want cold weather to move in so the ground can freeze up. If you’re in that boat, then this will not be a great forecast. As usual, confidence in

Forecast: Mild autumn weather to continue

Issued October 24, 2016 – Covering the period from October 26 to November 2, 2016

By
Another tough forecast period coming up — not because of any strong storm systems, but rather because we appear to be stuck with a weak steering flow, along with fairly weak weather systems.

Forecast: Chances of rain beyond the weekend

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

By
