Abstract
Long-term weather data for 21 sites across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta were analyzed to evaluate the availability of late-season heat and water resources between time of winter wheat maturity and freeze-up. Thermal time during this period ranged from 159 to 754 growing degree days; precipitation ranged from 42 to 152 mm. Southern Manitoba appears to be best suited to relay and double cropping. Southern Saskatchewan receives significant thermal energy; however, lack of precipitation may limit late season plant growth. Key words: Legumes, no-till, cropping system intensity
