Options for Alberta Producers During Dry Conditions

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) has a link in the Spotlight section on the department’s webpage highlighting Options for Alberta Producers During Dry Conditions.
 
“Alberta has been experiencing dry conditions across the province,” says Rick Dehod, farm financial specialist, AF, Edmonton. “Recent rain showers have been spotty with most farms having differing accumulations and different stresses due to the commodity they produce. Regardless, producers are seeking information and insights as to available options, and how to choose a logical course of action, as all of their operations are unique.”
 
“The purpose of the Options for Alberta Producers During Dry Conditions webpage section is to provide a ‘central location’ for producers to visit for information and tools,” says Dehod. “The information contained there covers a variety of business management and production issues around managing a farm during our current dry conditions.”

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
