Calgary, Alta. (Rural Roots Canada) – RRC meteorologist David Spence joins Craig Lester to break down a summer of weather extremes across the Prairies and what those conditions could mean as farmers move deeper into harvest.

They discuss the sharp north-south divide in moisture, with dry conditions returning to parts of southern Alberta, while excessive rainfall is creating harvest challenges farther north. Spence also talks about slower-than-normal harvest progress, the return of drought conditions in some areas, and growing concern about frost as crops race toward maturity.
