Warm Days,Cool Nights Helping Farmers

 
G3 Weather and Crop Specialist Bruce Burnett says the mild conditions we're experiencing should continue for at least the next few days.
 
He notes it's expected to cool down this week, but temperatures will still be above normal.
 
It's exactly the type of weather farmers are looking for.
 
“There is flooding concerns because the snowpack is quite heavy," commented Burnett. "These conditions however are also ideal because what we're seeing is a lot of warmth in the day, but freezing fairly substantially in the evening. So that's reducing the snowpack but it's not causing a quick melt by any means.”

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.
