Westward tour reports drought and relief need across Saskatchewan
A traveler’s account from Lloydminster to Regina and Maryfield recalls drought and wind ravaging Saskatchewan farms from east of Regina to Brooks Alberta, with thousands likely needing government relief. Yet irrigation belts from Bassano to Strathmore show good crops, Calgary to Edmonton crops heavy though late, and outlook mixed as edible harvests approach. Public need and government challenges loom over western Canada.

Harvesting General in Western Canada
Weather favors harvest across Manitoba Saskatchewan and Alberta with 30 percent of crops complete in Manitoba. Frost damage is minor in Peace River area and showers aided harvest progress. Prairie regions expect warm sun for late fall stands while early wheat quality varies with conditions. Coarse grains follow, fodder crops improve, grasshoppers and sawflies cause localized damage.
