I know that I promised I would stop complaining about the rain, but I heard something on the news the other day that I want to tell you about. According to the Canadian Wheat Board between 8.25 and 12.5 million acres of wheat alone will not be seeded this year because of the rain. This is an 18% decrease compared to last year! This means that farmers in flooded areas are looking at major losses this year. For rural communities that rely heavily on agriculture for their economy there will be devistation felt all around.
