30 Follow us on @PrairieFarming Better Farming | September 2024 contrasted with the prior years when there had been some significant problem spots.” The overall impact of the weather on this year’s crops cannot be understated. Adequate rainfall in some regions has supported strong crop growth and development, while drought and dry conditions in other areas have posed significant challenges. Farmers have been closely monitoring weather forecasts, hoping for favourable conditions to sustain their crops through the final stages of the growing season. In conclusion, the 2024 harvest season is shaping up to be a mixed bag. While some regions are poised for a successful harvest thanks to favourable weather, others continue to face significant challenges. The resilience and adaptability of Prairie farmers will be key in navigating these conditions and achieving the best possible outcomes as the harvest season unfolds. BF Harvest Outlook Prairie farmers are hoping for dry weather during harvest. Tracy Miller photo Farmers! Got unwanted pesticides or livestock/equine medications?
