Research indicates that winter precipitation accounts for a significant percentage of the moisture received throughout the year. While it is true that rain plays a crucial role in helping our crops to thrive, a melting snowpack also offers great benefits. David Bishop, Region One Director for Alberta Grains, explains the importance of having a big snowpack. According to Stats Canada, last year’s snowpack was the lowest level since 1972.
