Winter wheat acres survive winter, but down significantly

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

By Allan Dawson March 25, 2016

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

The start of my forecasts is beginning to sound a bit like a broken record. It doesn’t look like the current weather pattern we’ve been in for the last month or so is going to change any time soon. If you think winter has come to an early end and spring is ready to move

It doesn’t look like the weather pattern we’ve been in for the last month or so is going to change any time soon. Here is the big picture of what is going on. To our west, there has been a fairly persistent area of low pressure off the coast that has been drifting north and

The coldest air of the winter moved in as expected last weekend, with most locations either seeing air temperatures in the -30 to -33 C range or feeling wind chills in the -40 C or colder range. Hopefully this was nature’s biggest push of cold air for the winter, but as usual, only time will

It’s the middle of winter and, well, it feels like it. While it’s definitely been cold recently, if this ends up being our big shot of cold air for the winter, I think most of us can agree it wasn’t so bad! It does look like the colder-than-average temperatures will continue for at least one

After a fairly nice end to the year and an equally nice start to 2016, it looks like we’re in for some significant changes in our overall weather pattern. High pressure that brought us plenty of sunshine along with fairly mild temperatures over the weekend pulled off to the east, and by Wednesday the weather

Well, you have to give Environment Canada credit, as it was the only forecaster to correctly predict the behaviour of last week’s Colorado low. While the low tracked pretty close to what weather models predicted, a trough of low pressure extending to the northwest of the low brought some significant snowfall to central and eastern

With little or no snow covering much of central and southern Manitoba, temperatures were able to climb well above anticipated highs last week. Several temperature records fell as a large blocking pattern brought plenty of sunshine along with mild Pacific air. These mild conditions look like they’ll persist a little longer before more seasonable temperatures

Shorter winter favours honeybees

Some high overwintering losses may be attributed to inexperience and not the winter weather

By Shannon VanRaes April 21, 2015

While it’s too early to know for certain, this year’s shorter winter has all the hallmarks of overwintering success for Manitoba beekeepers. “I would expect good overwintering success,” said Allan Campbell, president of the Manitoba Beekeepers’ Association, adding that winter is a key factor for Prairie apiarists. “The winter conditions, I expect that to make
