Earlier this week we heard that snow packs are currently well below normal. Ralph Wright, manager agro-meteorological applications and modelling, with Alberta Agriculture, says when it comes to soil moisture reserves, many areas of the province are better off than they were earlier in the summer.

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.
