We sure got it here in Sask. on the early morning of Aug. 20. Some places
had a few degrees of frost for several hours which will do major crop
damage. My garden vegetables are all black and dead looking except for peas.
Reports coming in now are speculating that we will see the worst damage on
canola crops. Up to 100% in some cases. Cereal grains "should" still be
worth harvesting although a lot of it will be downgraded to feed quality.
Just curious how far the frost extended. I have heard reports of frost in
Minnesota and N. Dakota already so it must have gone quite a ways south.
Not what anybody wanted to see at this time of year with the crops being
late.
