While there has been little or no consistency as far as agricultural prices or input costs are concerned, local producers apparently can bank on the weather.
Environment Canada’s David Phillips says while the weather this summer has not been all that great for tourists, for farmers it has been ideal.
He says the rain occurred just when the farmers needed it in June and July and he expects that August will be warmer and dryer with ideal conditions for the harvest.
Phillips says the one exception was farmers trying to do their haying as it was often difficult to string together two dry days so they could can get the hay off the fields.
