Dry conditions for farmers across Saskatchewan
A dry year has left Saskatchewan dealing with fires in its north, and near drought in the south.
The fires are subsiding up north due to efforts by people on the ground, as well as rainfall. In much of the south, there’s no such cooperation.
Some producers have been lucky, and recently had some rainfall for their crops. But for many others, rain is still needed.
“We’re still dry. But for lots of (the crops), rain would be too late on them, because they’re dried up already,” said Sol Hofer.
