October ends up as average

Can we expect a relatively warm and dry end to 2023?

Above-average temperatures graced all three Prairie provinces for the first two to almost three weeks of the month. There was not much precipitation, making for absolutely beautiful fall weather. The wheels didn’t quite fall off, but winter made an

Brazil’s second corn crop facing delays

Acres either too dry or too wet for planting
