Recent snowfall changing seeding plans for Saskatchewan farmers

 
A market analyst says last week’s widespread snow will have an impact on seeding decisions this spring.
 
Neil Townsend with FarmLink Marketing Solutions said the moisture improves the attitude among the farming community.
 
“I think farmers are basing their decisions now more on markets than on looking out the window and saying there’s just not enough moisture out there I’m going to plant the lower cost things because I don’t want to spend money on something I won’t get a return on if it doesn’t grow,” he said.
 
Townsend is expecting Saskatchewan farmers to seed more canola and durum and less wheat, pulses and soybeans this year.
