Rain Helped, Saskatchewan Crop Report Says

Topsoil moisture conditions have greatly improved in much of the province, thanks to heavy rains early in the week, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture says.
 
Rainfall ranged from small amounts to well over 100 millimetres in some areas.
 
As a result after weeks where the most of the grain belt was too dry, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are now rated as seven per cent surplus, 62 per cent adequate, 25 per cent short and six per cent very short.

We are taking students out to southern Manitoba to Hespler Farms! Farmer Wayne will teach students how he plants and cares for his potato crop and why potatoes are such a unique crop to grow. Teachers, check out your AITC Dashboard for Math'd Potatoes, a potato-themed classroom resource to pair with this tour video. Thank you to Peak of the Market and Penner Farm Services for making this event possible.
