Dry Land Farming Areas Shape Prairie Agriculture
The Dominion Experimental Stations at Morden and Lacombe lie in moist regions, while Scott, Swift Current, and Lethbridge sit on open plains where dryland farming is practiced. Moisture conservation dominates this system, limiting crop production and guiding the type of agriculture across Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba. Nearly two-thirds of Saskatchewan, a smaller Alberta share, and a small Manitoba share fall within dryland zones, with about 60 percent of prairie wheat acreage in these areas. Dryness lowers yields but can preserve grain quality, making moisture conservation the key agricultural challenge.
