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. https://t.co/m08r5eZoOR

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. For more see: https://t.co/Pd1uPznF3B
