CANADIAN PRAIRIE PROVINCES FACE WIDESPREAD DROUGHT...NEW CLOUD TYPE FORMS IN IDAHO
Albertans are crossing their fingers that predicted cloudy patches translate to rain later this week to wash away what has become one of the most dry Junes on record across Alberta.
Last year we didn’t have applied irrigation in any field, that’s how bad it is this year,” said vegetation manager Gary Chan.
“Nobody could really predict that we would have this drought. We are not totally prepared.”
Jim Hole, who sells greenhouse and bedding plants north of Edmonton, said customers are returning scores of plants that are struggling to survive in the heat.
“I have not seen a year this dry in a long time,” he said.
