Dry conditions helped Alberta farmers harvest faster, but also caused major problems throughout the growing season.
Southern Alberta is ahead of the average harvesting pace, with 98.2 per cent of the crop harvested by Oct. 3, according to the province’s latest crop report. But this year’s crop yields are only 66.9 per cent of the five-year average.
“Going into the season with lack of moisture or soil moisture was a big factor,” said Lynn Jacobson, president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture. The province said it's investing millions to improve Alberta’s irrigation infrastructure to help prevent this from happening again.
