Canadian Prairies To Dry Down As Planting Begins

Kansas City, May 2 (World Weather Inc.) – Spring planting has begun in Canada’s Prairies and soil moisture varies greatly across the region. Some areas are too dry for seed germination while others are favorably moist. The next ten days and possibly two weeks will be warmer or much warmer than usual. That will raise soil temperatures sufficiently for more aggressive planting to take place; however, dryness will remain and will likely expand during this period raising concern about long term crop development potentials. There is potential for timely rain to evolve in the second half of this month, but confidence in the significance of that precipitation is not very high right now.
