Dry Weather Impacts Blueberries and Greens from the North ShoreDry Weather Impacts Blueberries and Greens from the North Shore The dry conditions experienced in the North Shore region have taken a toll on local blueberry and green vegetable production. Growers report that their yields are “smaller and less flavorful” this season. According to the La Ronge Northerner, the lack of rainfall has stunted the growth of these crops. Blueberries, in particular, have been affected, with smaller berries and a diminished sweetness. Greens such as spinach and kale have also suffered, with smaller leaves and a more bitter taste. The dry weather has also made it more challenging for growers to control pests and diseases, leading to further crop loss. As a result, prices for blueberries and greens from the North Shore are expected to be higher this year. Consumers are advised to support local growers by purchasing their products despite the reduced quality and higher prices. This support will help ensure the long-term viability of the North Shore’s agricultural industry.
