By: Elmer Kaskiw myWestman.ca What a difference a year makes. A year ago we were still experiencing lows of -20 degrees Celsius and still had a significant snow pack. This year we have already been + 15-20 degrees Celsius on at least a couple of occasions and have been relatively snow free for much March. Even the heavy wet snow received a week ago melted within a couple of days and somewhat surprisingly left fields with relatively little standing water.

By: Steven Perrin myWestman.ca This past week had reports of planters moving in some parts of the southern corn belt. This only added fuel to the fire as many analysts are predicting a record amount of corn acres for the 2012 growing season.
