The total resource area is 3.4 million hectares or about 5% of the province’s land base. The region is correlated with semi-arid moisture conditions, warm summers (mean 15.5 degrees Celsius) and winters and low to moderate precipitation (350 - 400 mm annually). Soil types are Dark Brown Chernozemic or Solonetzic associated with sandy to clayey lacustrine deposits and developed under prairie grassland influences.
