A weather and crop specialist with CWB reports this year’s late spring has resulted in close to two million acres left unseeded and raised concerns over the potential for crops that were planted being damaged this fall by frost.
Due to a delayed spring melt farmers in western Canada got onto the fields to begin spring planting much later than normal this year.

Global Warming’s a b!tch. The more you piss her off, the colder she gets.
Wonder if Superior is ice free yet.
However, as any warmster can tell you this cold weather is the direct result of the climate disruption caused by CO2 and they have the models to prove it.
Wasn’t last years bumper crop planting late also?
All we need to stop climate change is millions of hockey sticks.
In the upside down world of Obama and the Democrats fighting plant food is more important than fighting terrorists ….God help us…

You are right, and there was a great fall to harvest the crop.
I do not remember which it was, probably in the 80s, but one year we had snow, even if just a few flurries, every month except July.
But… but… global warming!
Ken, that was 1986.

June 17 and 77 lines still frozen in Winnipeg. Apparently the layer of frost is between 6 and 7 feet down. If we have another bad winter, is Winnipeg looking at permafrost?
Just remember, record warm winter in California is climate change, record cold everywhere else is the weather.
