Seems to be a very wet spring in many parts of Canada. My area of rural central Alberta is very wet. Many farmers have yet to be able to get into their fields. Already it is too late to plant those fields with wheat or canola. There remains about a 10 day window for planting barley if those fields dry sufficiently to seed a crop this year. After that it would still be possible to plant the wet fields in green feed for cattle. This is not a good harbinger for farm incomes this year. 

County road bans remain in effect, stifling the oil and nat gas servicing companies.

Happily, the asparagus patch in my garden is producing like a champion this spring and rhubarb is growing so fast that many stalks have gone to seed before I can pick them. I even tried a rhubarb/asparagus crisp as a dessert......not as weird as it sounds.
