Warm and dry weather has Saskatchewan farmers concerned about future yields

Warm and dry weather has Saskatchewan farmers concerned about future yields

CBC
Saturday, December 2, 2023 1:40 PM GMT

Farming is Jeremy Welter's livelihood, but recent weather conditions have made it increasingly difficult to grow his crops.

"You can put down you know the right seed, at the right point, and at the right time, all of the right nutrients. But without water you're not going to grow anything," he said.

Welter's farm is northeast of Kerrobert, Sask.

Warm and dry weather conditions in the province this past month have Welter and other farmers concerned about future yields. 

In a recent report, the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency said that parts of the province are heading into winter with below-normal to well-below-normal soil moisture. This is due to hot and dry conditions in the summer and fall this year.

David Phillips, senior climatologist for Environment and Climate Change Canada, said –22 C is considered a cold day in November. Cities like Regina and Saskatoon saw no days reach this mark this year, Phillips said.

Some parts of the province reached highs of 12 C in November, with minimal rain and snow.

Welter worries these will have effects far beyond just his farm.

"The vast majority of what gets produced in Western Canada, as far as grains goes, it's all exported," he said. "It goes to other parts of the world where there are, you know, very hungry people waiting for that food to show up."

Experts say the weather conditions don't come as a surprise, as Saskatchewan has been dealing with these patterns for quite some time.

"It's been going on for three to five years," said Phillips.

Phillips said he found that precipitation has been dropping in Saskatchewan every year for the past five years.

He said he expects the weather  through the winter to be similar to what Saskatchewan is seeing now. 

Dale Hjertaas, president of the Regina Ski Club, said he has become familiar with unpredictable weather.
