Increasing the Equine Presence on Farms.com OntAg.

I've been to a few horse forums, and as far as format and ease of use goes, I quite enjoy farms.com over the others.  However, there don't seem to be many horse participants as members.  I might strive to change that!  Any new equine members make sure you add me as a friend and we'll see how the list goes!

Glad to see there are others out there! All these years, horses have been our 'guilty pleasure'. Nice to see some discussion (and, I've even noticed a column or two in the farm papers lately!).

Alberta Crops Still Above Average, But Moisture Extremes Mean Farmers Can Expect Two Different Harvest Stories

Provincial crop ratings remain stronger than the five-year average, but Alberta farmers are dealing with a sharp regional split: declining moisture in the South and Central regions and persistent wet conditions farther north. Alberta’s 2026 crop is still looking comparatively strong heading into August, but the provincial average masks very different conditions from one end of the province to the other. As of Aug. 4, 58.1 per cent of Alberta’s major crops were rated in good-to-excellent condition. That is well above the five-year average of 42.7 per cent and close to the 10-year average of 53.9 per cent. At the same time, the provincial rating slipped from 60.3 per cent a week earlier, reflecting growing pressure in several regions. The bigger story for farmers is the province’s moisture divide. Parts of southern and central Alberta continue to dry out, with soil moisture reserves declining. In the North East, North West and Peace regions, producers are facing almost the opposite p
