  1. The information you are looking for can be found on this link:

    The crops mentioned here are the main crops in Canada.


  2. Of most concern in Canadian agriculture this growing season has been the excessive moisture across the Prairies, especially in southern Manitoba, southwestern Alberta, and in scattered areas across Saskatchewan.  Of all the provinces, Manitoba has suffered the most where flooding has contributed to delayed planting and has decreased overall planted acreage.  Disruption in fieldwork, including delayed spraying, and nutrient leaching will likely contribute to lower crop yields in Manitoba. Given spring seeding intentions, it is estimated that 15 percent of crops did not get planted in Manitoba due to weather. Conversely, Alberta and Saskatchewan have benefited from the fair to excessive moisture earlier this season. Because of heavy June rains, southern Alberta soil moisture, which was excessively dry early this spring, became close to average in July. While most of Saskatchewan cropland is currently average to above average in cumulative growing season precipitation, dry and hot conditions in the first week of August have caused crop conditions to slip from their record potential. Now the threat of frost has become the biggest weather concern as the early seeded crops are being harvested, and later seeded crops are becoming ready for harvest
