It’s been a wet fall here in Manitoba as many parts of the province are close to setting rainfall records for September if they haven’t already. It has made completing aeration and projects a bit more difficult than usual but it sounds like many Superintendents are finding windows of opportunity to get their work done. Hopefully things get a chance to dry out before the snow falls as the disease pressure will be pretty high with the weather we have been having.
