Moisture Reserve Key To Western Canada Crop Yields
The chart shows crops use less moisture from planting to June 30 than average, risking little damage if rains stay light. After June 30, crops demand much more moisture, so a good yield requires substantial soil reserves from prior seasons or summer fallow. Without reserves, high per acre yields are unlikely.
