Decent weather finally in the forecast for those still harvesting

There’s a relatively good outlook for harvest weather this coming week in southern Saskatchewan.
 
Combining is just over half done after numerous delays from recent rain and snow.
 
Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips said the forecast is for cool and relatively dry weather this week followed by a warm up.
 
“Certainly we see a little bit of a break the next seven days, we see some sunshine, temperatures are again going to be five to seven degrees cooler than normal, but when we get to mid week we see temperatures going up, for example Regina will be around 15 with lots of sunshine, typically they’re around 11 this time of year,” Phillips said.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
