I was frustrated by the lack of a good long term climate map for the prairies. So we built one. Here is an interactive map of the average 30 yr (1990-2020) Agro-climate W Canada. We used ECCC High Resolution Deterministic Prediction System data. cropagronomyusask.users.eart…

This @CSIRO #Wheatcast national wheat yield forecast for 2024 is based on data to 1 Sept. Median yield expectation is 2.29 t/ha. An above average national yield is 'locked in'.
The map shows the variability of expected water-limited yields.

Amazing 100% incidence on susceptible checks in our renovated @CDC_USask FHB nursery in Saskatoon. Proud to be a part of the teams led by @CurtisPozniak and Dr Adam Carter wheat breeders who made this happen. We got great differential for breeding programs and research projects!
So happy our research team is now funded by the Canadian Space Agency for wall to wall mapping of N2O emissions risks. Thaun Ha and Kwabena Nketia had huge contributions to application! @csa_asc @agbiousask @usaskplsc thestarphoenix.com/news/loca…
New app day!!! Search “Virtual Rain Gauge” in the iPhone App Store. 100% free and no ads - brought to by @agbiousask! Please let us know how accurate it is - built using the CaPA data from Env Canada on 2.5 km pixels.
