While many in Saskatchewan are pleased about the lack of snow on the ground and mild temperatures, farmers who were already hit with a difficult season because of drought are concerned those conditions could impact their crops in 2024.
Jeremy Welter, a farmer from Kerrobert, said snowfall during the winter has a major impact on soil moisture levels in the spring.
“The lack of snow is incredibly concerning. It’s less of an issue of moisture; what the snow really provides is moisture conservation,” Welter said.
I wonder if there’s some kind of systemic change going on? 🤔
Four or five years… so far.
Stop voting for science denying assholes.
