Q: Roughly, when do you seed and when do you harvest?

In Alberta, seeding and harvesting times can differ by about a month or so. But for central Alberta, farmers are out seeding in mid-to-late April and harvesting begins in August. For northern Alberta farmers, they usually begin seeding during the first few weeks of May and the crop finishes and is ready for harvest in early September. As for southern Alberta, seeding begins in early April and harvest their harvest starts in early August.
