Agricultural Climate of Manitoba (Opens in a new Window)
The Agricultural Climate of Manitoba database contains a series of maps describing the agricultural climate(s) of Manitoba, based on historical observations across the 60 year period from 1929 to 1988. Maps are available on under two themes: heat (e.g.. Frost free length, accumulation of growing degree days) and moisture (with respect to alfalfa, spring wheat, and corn). Data are available in mapped formats.
