Agriculture Canada forecasting drought, Canada competing with Ukraine, reviving tourism in rural Canada
Farmers on the Eastern Prairies know they’re in a drought, but what they really want to know is – when will it end? On this week’s show you’ll hear from Trevor Hadwen, an agro-climate expert with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, who has designed a forecasting tool called the Drought Outlook. We also hear from Sean Pratt, a Western Producer reporter in Saskatoon, who has learned that Ukraine now produces more grain than all of Canada. Plus, Melissa Bezan, an intern at the Western Producer, explains why she wants to compete in an ‘Amazing Race’ in southern Alberta this summer. Hosted by Robert Arnason.
