Seeding progress hampered by early snow and wind
Agriculture News reports 75-80 percent of seeding complete in the prairies as warm winds quickened plantings for canola and grains. Farmers face uneven germination due to variable moisture from recent snow and freezing rain while hay supplies dwindle and pasture growth slows, potentially delaying first cut yields. Terrie Welwood notes forecasts show moisture may help germination though not drastically.
