Summary
Every season in the Canadian Prairies comes down to one thing: the weather. With a short growing window, everything rides on how conditions unfold. In this episode, meteorologist David Spence breaks down how winter set the stage for spring, where moisture levels stand across the Prairies, and what conditions could look like heading into seeding. While much of the region has pulled out of short-term drought and field are shaping up well, deeper moisture concerns still linger (especially in southern Alberta). As El Niño develops, David explores how this could setup a hotter, drier summer and what that could mean for crops across the Prairies. Looking for the latest in crop nutrition research?
