As the snow starts to melt, the question that is on Manitoba producers' minds is, will this help with soil moisture levels. Ernie Sirski says the melt has been near perfect so far.
With the tempuratures we've got, its been almost what you can call a perfect melt. It's been slow, and surprisingly very little water standing around, so I think the water is going into the groud which is a good thing for us.
While the slow melt is ideal, the true need is for consistent moisture throughout the summer.
We'll see what happens throughout the course of the summer, because snow really doesn't make a crop.
