NASA shares satellite imagery of Manitoba farmland
NASA released satellite images showing Manitoba's northernmost farmland in the Carrot River Valley, within the Saskatchewan River Delta, during the 2026 growing season. The images, taken by Landsat 8 and 9 satellites, display how the fields' appearance shifted from green to brown between July and September 2026, marking the crop cycle. The region relies on flood control systems to enable agriculture amid surrounding wetlands.
- Images cover July and September 2026
- Carrot River Valley is surrounded by wetlands
- Area depends on diking and pumping for farming
- Little rainfall recorded in late September
- Data supports Canada's annual crop inventory
