Manitoba farmers are growing confident about what could be a banner year for crops.

Favourable conditions and high commodity prices are combining to erase the memories of 2011, when widespread flooding meant there was little to celebrate.

Doug Chorney, president, Keystone Agricultural Producers, the largest farm lobby group in Manitoba, said this is the kind of year many have been waiting for.

"After 2011 being such an unproductive year with the flooding it's been a tremendous opportunity for farmers to recover and we have had pretty good growing conditions throughout the province this year," he said.

That said, there are a few pockets where growing conditions are less than perfect, Chorney added.

But overall, the good harvest will have a positive impact on Manitoba's economy, he said.
