Farmers look for moisture in southeast Saskatchewan

 
Seeding in the Weyburn area of southeast Saskatchewan is nearing 75 percent complete.
 
Weyburn extension crop specialist Sherri Roberts says seeding has a wide range in the southeast, with some farmers already finished and others are just getting started.
 
She says areas near the U.S. border are least advanced because of a late spring.
 
She says some crops have already emerged and are two to three inches in height.
 
She says crops need moisture and so far there have been no major wildfires.

Video: EP 73 Diversity is Resiliency – Stories of Regeneration Part 6

During the growing season of 2023 as summer turned into fall, the Rural Routes to Climate Solutions podcast and Regeneration Canada were on the final leg of the Stories of Regeneration tour. After covering most of the Prairies and most of central and eastern Canada in the summer, our months-long journey came to an end in Canada’s two most western provinces around harvest time.

This next phase of our journey brought us to Cawston, British Columbia, acclaimed as the Organic Farming Capital of Canada. At Snowy Mountain Farms, managed by Aaron Goddard and his family, you will find a 12-acre farm that boasts over 70 varieties of fruits such as cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, apples, and quince. Aaron employs regenerative agriculture practices to cultivate and sustain living soils, which are essential for producing fruit that is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients.
