Winter Weather Conditions Challenging for Alabama Vegetable Producers

Winter Weather Conditions Challenging for Alabama Vegetable Producers
By Pam Knox
 
As you might expect, this winter’s cool and wet conditions have not been good for a lot of our vegetable growers. Things are progressing slowly because of the cool weather, and the wet conditions have led to the development of some fungal diseases in spite of the cold. While many insects prefer warmer weather, some pests thrive in colder temperatures, and they can be tough to manage.

EP 65 Grazing Through Drought

Video: EP 65 Grazing Through Drought

Welcome to the conclusion of the Getting Through Drought series, where we look at the best management practices cow-calf producers in Alberta can use to build up their resiliency against drought.

Our hope is that the series can help with the mental health issues the agriculture sector is grappling with right now. Farming and ranching are stressful businesses, but that’s brought to a whole new level when drought hits. By equipping cow-calf producers with information and words of advice from colleagues and peers in the sector on the best ways to get through a drought, things might not be as stressful in the next drought. Things might not look so bleak either.

In this final episode of the series, we are talking to Ralph Thrall of McIntyre Ranch who shares with us his experience managing grass and cows in a pretty dry part of the province.
