I totally agree with you. Even posting this and giving food for thought for the long hours in the tratctor ahead will hopefully stir communication amongest the families that will benefit them in some way. There are alot of great ideas thought up in spring and fall when you are in the tractor 18 hours a day.

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.
