Local Farmers Not Panicking Yet As Snow Lingers On Fields

     Although it's mid-April, Saskatchewan fields aren't of much use to any one except snowmobile riders. 

A farmer would be forgiven for feeling frustrated by Old Man Winter’s fingers still grasping Saskatchewan fields.

However, Annaheim and Lake Lenore grain and oilseed farmer Chris Braun isn’t panicking just yet.

“If I got frustrated everytime the weather didn't’ go my way, I’d be pretty frustrated all the time,” he told Bolt FM.

While the snow has buried his equipment, making it hard to get ready for seeding, he points out that no one has ever lost a crop in April.

“If we didn’t get any warm weather melting and it becomes May 1, then plans might change. But for now, everything is steady as she goes. Mother nature always gives us spring, so I’m not too worried yet.”...https://discoverhumboldt.com/local/local-farmers-not-panicking-yet-as-snow-lingers-on-fields
