[AT] Disastrous weather...

[Ralph Goff]

Its been a cooler and drier than normal spring here in Sask. too. Everything 
is later than normal, including the rain. No significant rain all spring 
really and it is a miracle that the crops are even germinating. We had 
overnight frost a couple of nights last week that blackened the early 
potatoes that were up. Pastures are short and thin
Some wild winds caused a little crop damages in some areas but nothing like 
what farmer and others in that area are having.
