2011 Manitoba fall soil moisture survey
Marla Riekman, Agri-Environment Knowledge Centre, Carman, MB R0G 0J0

Soil moisture samples were taken just prior to freeze up, to a depth of 4 feet. Samples were taken from 105 locations across the province, representing all regions of agro-Manitoba. A map of fall soil moisture status has been created and will be showcased in the poster. Data from this soil moisture survey can be used as a general information/planning tool for producers and agronomists and will also be used for flood prediction modelling in 2012.
