Alberta crops improve after late-July heat wave, AFSC report says
A new provincial crop report credits warm conditions in the second half of July with boosting growth across Alberta's farmland.
Why it matters
Crop conditions directly affect Alberta's agricultural economy and farm incomes across the province.
The latest Alberta Crop Report, compiled by the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC), says crops across the province benefited from warmer weather during the latter half of July.
According to the report, the entire province saw improved growing conditions as temperatures rose, with some areas also receiving scattered rainfall during the period.
AFSC's crop reports are used by farmers and industry to track seasonal progress and are issued periodically throughout the growing season to reflect changing weather and field conditions.
