What was shaping up to be a good yield for Alberta farmers came, at least temporarily, to an abrupt halt when snow blanketed the province over the Thanksgiving weekend.

SK too. Put a bit of a damper on celebrations, family reunion going on with 1/3 of the crop under snow...

Damn, seems we need to get some more carbon into the atmosphere to help prevent this kind of thing.

Around here the ground was to wet to begin with, first time I've ever seen combines going to where the trucks were parked to unload in approaches or high ground in the field that was a little drier. Last Thursday was the first frost so there's lots of good quality grain in the bins

Good year to be selling grain wagons.

Well, we have hurricanes off the Newfoundland coast that are destroying our roads this week, so I'll go 'non, merci' on the extra helpings of carbon.
