Rainy spring delays seeding for Manitoba farmers Duration 1:50 Producers are growing increasingly ticked off with Mother Nature, which is keeping them from seeding all of their crops. Many Manitoba farmers are focusing on planting whatever crop they can on the driest land they have. "Manitoba farmers' outlook for 2022 has been discouraged by poor weather, logistic delays, and extreme commodity risk," the provincial government wrote in its most recent crop report. While seeding progress in Alberta has been good compared with Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the province has the opposite problem. Many parts of Alberta have been too dry this spring, raising fears that farmers in regions affected by last summer's extreme drought will face similar challenges this year.
