Historically dry conditions hit several Sask. communities in May

May 26, 2023

It’s no surprise that Saskatchewan is dealing with so many wildfires as many communities are currently experiencing historically dry conditions.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, the first two weeks of May were the driest on record for this time of year for Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Yorkton, and Meadow Lake.

The weather agency has 138 years of data for P.A., 126 years for Saskatoon, 115 years for Yorkton, and 74 years for Meadow Lake.

While not topping their own list, the dry conditions in other communities across the province are also some of the worst in their history.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
