Stats. Can. predicting better crop this year

Sep 14, 2022 | 3:32 PM

Statistics Canada says Canadian farmers are on track to produce a better crop this year than they did in 2021.

Early production estimates suggest crop yields will be higher because of better growing conditions in Western Canada.

The region was affected by severe drought in 2021.

But since June of 2022, much of the Prairies has received consistent precipitation.
