West Central Alberta Coldest, wettest edge
We have been incredibly dry this year, yet crops, pasture and hay all are doing surprisingly well. Heavy dews every night, is that helping at all, doesn't the water have to be drawn in through the roots for transpiration to take place? Also getting lots of showers that aren't even enough to settle the dust, but soak the canopy.
