Significant concern for drought conditions in southern Alberta
An official with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada says it has been a challenging summer for farmers in the prairies, and it might not get much better in the immediate future.
Agroclimate Specialist Trevor Hadwin has provided his latest drought monitor update, largely focusing on the conditions in June 2025.
He says he remains concerned about large portions of Alberta and Saskatchewan, and that what started as a promising spring quickly turned into another dry year.
Hadwin explains that many regions in the prairies typically receive the most rain in June, but this June has been “abnormally dry.”
