- What the Weather Knows with Drew Lerner
Weather is the one thing you cannot plan for. But you can plan around it. That difference — between being caught off guard and being positioned for whatever comes — is what this session is about. Drew Lerner has been reading the atmosphere for 47 years. Commodity markets, food companies, and producers worldwide rely on him. He is the kind of guy who can draw the jet stream on a whiteboard in real time and make it feel like a kitchen table conversation. That is exactly what happened here. Darren Sander runs a farm south of Rosetown, Saskatchewan. He has spent years figuring out how to reduce the damage weather does to his operation before the weather ever shows up. He opens the session by laying out the practical side — what farmers actually do to protect their crops from a season that has already made up its mind. Together, the three of them cover a lot of ground. Topics Covered How prairie farmers mitigate weather before it arrives Seed timing, variety selection, soil biology, compaction, and why the first 30 days dictate maximum yield potential. Darren explains the logic behind building resilient crops when the inputs are already fighting you. What the drought monitor is actually showing — and what it is missing The North American drought monitor does not capture long-term soil depletion well. For producers entering their eighth or ninth year of persistent dryness, the map looks more encouraging than it is. Drew explains why, and what to watch for as temperatures climb this spring. The ridge of high pressure problem — and why the US dryness matters to you When soil is dry, ridges of high pressure intensify and hold. When soil is wet, ridges collapse. Right now, the Rocky Mountain snowpack and the US Plains are running significantly below normal, which means any summer ridge could anchor itself, amplify, and push north into the prairies. This is not the official forecast. It is the official worry. What a Montana low means for the Southwest prairies Montana lows have been rare in recent years. That is a big part of why southern Alberta and southwest Saskatchewan have been so dry. One showed up in April 2026. Drew explains why that matters and what it signals about the pattern shift that may be coming. The two competing weather patterns fighting over the prairies right now A ridge-dominated western pattern and an active US trough pattern have been alternating all winter. Neither one has been generous to the Canadian prairies. Drew explains when and how the jet stream will shift northward — and what that means for when moisture actually arrives. The 18-year cycle and what it says about 2026 The lunar cycle is one of Drew's most reliable long-range tools. He walks through what it is, how it interacts with El Niño, and why 2026 looks meaningfully different from the worst years of the recent drought. El Niño — what it actually means for the prairies, and what it does not El Niño is coming. The hype is overblown. Drew separates the signal from the noise, breaks down timing versus intensity, and explains what the transition from La Niña to El Niño typically looks like for June, July, and August across different regions of the prairies. The solar cycle, commodity markets, and the window you are in right now Drew overlays the 11-year and 22-year solar cycles with corn and canola futures prices going back to the 1970s. The pattern is real and it matters for how you think about marketing. The 2020–2023 drought was not random — it was consistent with the solar minimum-to-maximum period. We are now two years past the solar maximum. That changes the outlook. Why the Northeast prairies and Manitoba face a different set of problems Too much snow. Heavy soils. A wetter June on
