Comment by Robert Abbott on November 10, 2015 at 4:08am

My name is Robert Abbott and I’m from a small farming community located in Oxford County called Tillsonburg. As a teenager growing up I worked the tobacco fields as the song by Stompin Tom Connor’s so adequately describes. I work for T.L. Willaert Realty Brokerage Ltd and I devote my time to farm and vacant land real estate sales in an industry I feel passionate about. My blog will be focused on general agricultural news while incorporating real estate topics that effect the agriculture industry within the province of Ontario and the rest of Canada. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them. I invite you to visit my real estate website canadianfarmlandforsale.ca to learn more about myself and the services I provide to my client and customers.

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
