As usual, this year’s harvest features unexpected and unforeseen challenges – weather forecasts that are less than accurate and decisions you may not have typically made as a result of believing what you heard; breakdowns which are always par for the course; lingering parts shortages – with Covid still to blame, or perhaps a convenient scapegoat; trained manpower shortages – a new reality in many “fields”; and days that start out damp with less hours of sun. And dare we say anything about the potential of a drawn-out wet period (even though the entire province could use a heaping helping of ground water). Good luck with getting your crop in the bin and we hope your yield is even better than predicted.
