It is a long, dry heat, and it has been taken a toll on New Breanswick Farmers

New Breanswick farmers are re -surprised after a warm, dry summer, but their crops are redeemed, and have been left thinking what the future summer will bring.

Don Boswik’s family has been cultivating his Kingston Peninsula apple farm for seven generations, dating back in the 1700s.

“If I can bring back any of them, they will tell you that they have never seen such a dry like this. We can not just rain,” Boswik said.

The dry condition of this summer has not been easy on the apple farm – Bosvik says that trees are emphasized, and with a chakli, believe that he is also.

Some of their apple varieties that cook in the first season are larger than early spring rains, but others are small and fall before trees, some of which are dotted with crisp and dried leaves.

This is the time of the year when trees will store energy for next year, he said, so next year crops can also take a hit from bad weather in this summer.

“Surely there is a concern for this, but at the same time, there is not much that we can do about it,” Bosvik said.

The farm was just opened to customers looking to take their apples in the last weekend. But the success of the rest of the season depends on how high the rain is.

“This is a ‘,’, and I don’t look like working on ‘IFS’,” he said.

“You will roll with the panches, I think, or I will not be a farmer. I must have given it years ago, or my ancestors will have it.”

Apples to take a hit are not just production items. In Baie De Bouctouche, beyond the province, the fourth generation farmer Christian Mikaud does not like the form of his corn slope this year.

He said, “Corn, quality-wise, was good, it was just not just the yield due to water scarcity. Cobs I liked, as small as I was,” he said, he said, only about 60 percent were normal paying attention to their crop.

“We were leaving far behind (on the stalk) because they were very young.”

The farm plant eight times a year, so Michaud said that it is not completely out, but is not the produce that he usually harves this time of this year.

Beans and other carrot crops are also below. Poor weather means that he and other farmers have to consider more about the crops and being durable.

“When you achieve extreme weather events like this year, you feel that it makes you just a little more flexible to make it,” Michod said.

“But flexibility only brings you till now. We still need water at some point.”

In the Lonsavyu Farms near Sussex, farmer Eric Walker said he had lost one -third of his one -third of his silage crop to feed his cows.

“All grass … died and some clover … have gone, but not quality,” he said.

They estimate that the loss adds up to $ 75,000.

Dry weather means that the walker has to reduce its remaining inventory from last year and outsource some silage to fill its silos. Most of the people of the country have also experienced dry conditions in this summer, so he and other farmers can see the fields in America so that they needed.

“The fingers have crossed that our beloved neighbors to the south of the border would have a wonderful crop and it would be the market … there would be a fair price to reduce the load,” the walker said.

He said that the effects of climate change have become clear this year, and crop time is changing for farmers.

“Now nothing is done by the playbook.”

Brett readpaths of the development of blue acre, Santte-Mary-D-Kent have a blueberry farm, say there is no other way to describe the weather, but very well.

“Between the lack of rain and the extreme heat it probably seems to be one of the worst years, which we had in a long time, if never,” the readpath said.

In a normal year, he must have been wrapping the weather now, but the farm ended the cutting of blueberries weeks ago.

“They didn’t really look like blueberries. They dried up too much on the vine, many of them.”

He said that apart from the crop of deficiency, prices for blueberries are also below.

“When you are not getting great value for your fruit, it makes it difficult to deal with some time or the other.”

Due to the wild nature of how blueberries grow, the readpath said that there are no farmers to fight back against such circumstances.

“The entire future of the industry is a little related to this way,” he said.
