There’s a lot more optimism in the agriculture sector especially in parts of southern Saskatchewan that saw additional snowfall during the month of March.
That moisture should help with water levels in dugouts and of course soil moisture for farmers this Spring.
Sherrilyn Phelps is an Agronomy Specialist with Saskatchewan Pulse Growers and says economics is an important factor for farmers.
She says farmers may want to look at the cost of the input and its return on investment.
"If you're investing five dollars in a specific input, and it's increasing your yields by two bushels and your gaining 15 dollars then that's a return invest of three to one," she said. "If you invest five dollars and are only getting 5 dollars back in terms of a one-bushel increase are you really making any more money."
