Weather Crop Records Link Rainfall to Yields
Weather crop records from an experimental farm spanning many years show rainfall as the key factor in crop growth. Yet strong epidemics during wet seasons caused poor grain harvests in several years. The driest year 1804 yielded the poorest crop, while 1951's drought produced a good harvest due to moisture carryover and favorable weather. The standout 1915 crop proved the best Manitoba had seen to that point.
