The average annual precipitation is approximately 11 inches. Summers are characterized by being hot and dry, with the winters being cold with periodically modified Chinook winds first generated by upslopes of air currents slamming into the mountains. These winds are warmed in the higher atmosphere and return to earth (somewhere west of Calgary) as a pleasant warm wind that sweeps across the prairie. Snowfall averages are moderate to low. |
Soil
Coronach is located in the Brown Soil Zone. The rolling land is nearly all suitable for grain farming, although some areas are only suitable for grazing and ranching. The land is mostly strip- farmed and is suitable for most Western Canadian crops such as Wheat, durum, barley, oats, flax, rye and winter wheat. Some of the highest protein concentrated wheat in the world is grown in this area. Trends are gradually changing with more and more specialty crops such as peas, lentils, canola, mustard being grown. The Coronach community is served by two large, modern elevators, both owned and operated by Pioneer Grain Company. |
