Last year at this time, farmers across the western Prairies were worried about low soil moisture.

This year is the complete opposite, with heavy rains filling up soil moisture reserves.

G3 Weather and Crop Specialist Bruce Burnett explained the potential impact of this fall's rains on next year's crop.

"It's certainly going to put a stress on next spring's weather in terms of getting next year's crop in, especially in those areas that will still have to harvest this year's crop in those areas that they just won't be able to get to as well as the fertilization and other field work that needs to be done in some of these regions as well."

Burnett says with everything being delayed, the time table for many farmers could be pretty tight next spring.

He notes having dry weather next spring is going to be really important.
