Poor boy, I do know drought as I walked fields and pastures in the SW and West side of Sask. as a summer student in the 80s and my first job with Sask ag and food was working on the drought.
One field west of the national park I remember I said this land should never have been broken up in the 80s.
Back that way in 2010 and saw the most beautiful Canola crop on that same quarter and wondered F#$K mine at home looks worse.
But dry weather is back and I imagine that field didn't look too great this year.
Western Canada is huge but the east side and north are usually wet and the Palliser triangle is usually drier.
It's not climate change this has been going on since Canada was settled or long before.
But good comments keep posting.
