HT DougR Harvesting wheat in North Dakota – 10 Oct 2018 iceagenow.info Heavy snowfall further hampers already delayed harvest in Alberta Farmers across the province continue to be challenged by the cold, wet weather of late as most of their crops remain in the fields. Based on annual averages over the last five years, approximately 80 per cent of crops should have been harvested by this time. This year, only 40 per cent of harvesting has been completed. Tony Marshall’s wheat on Highwood Crossing Farm near Aldersyde remains in rows weeks after it was cut. “It’s certainly not dry enough yet,” explained Marshall. “We want to get it down to 14 per cent (moisture).” Marshall sees little reason for optimism on his combining prospects in the coming days. “The forecast is looking at more snow and moisture in the next couple days so we are definitely running out of time.” calgary.ctvnews.ca
