Snow Could Put A Stop To The Harvest

The push is on as farmers work to get the majority of the harvest in the bin before the snow flies.
 
Agri-Meteorologist Drew Lerner with World Weather Inc says that could happen this weekend.
 
“We’ll see some significant frost and freezes occurring in most of the Province by the time we get to Saturday morning. Then the stage becomes set for a rain and snow event to impact most of the south, east central through southeastern parts of the province.”
 
Snow is expected to start Saturday night, continue most of the day Sunday ending early on Monday.”
 
“Some of that precipitation will be significant and the snow will be heavier enough in some areas to lay down our crop and make harvesting even more difficult down the road.”

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
