Heavy rains, together with a lowered total air temperature, provoked so intense soil moisture in some Canadian wheat fields that the state of crops significantly worsened over the past month.
This August was a real test for crops in selected territories of Canada.
As a result, last week, analysts estimated that only sixty-seven percent of the crops were in good and excellent condition, while a year earlier the same condition was recorded in eighty percent of Canadian agricultural lands compared to the same period.
Especially due to the vicissitudes of the weather, spring wheat. In this case, we are talking about the deterioration of twenty-nine percent of the total field area.
Fortunately, fields with winter wheat and durum grains (of which, for example, make high-quality pasta and bulgur groats) demonstrate an improvement in performance. And even if only one percent (from forty-three percent to forty-four), however, even such a growth inspires hope in local farmers.
It will not be amiss to note that due to the influence of rains and cooling in Canada, the condition of barley crops in Canada is assessed as good and excellent only in seventy percent of the fields.
