A voluntary premises identification system has been in place since 2011 to help with emergency management during disease outbreaks and natural disasters (like wildfires) but Premises ID will become mandatory early next year. An estimated 2,915 premises have yet to enroll. It’s the front-page story in the March edition of Country Life in BC, the agricultural news source for BC’s farmers and ranchers. ... See MoreSee Less

Three hubs are currently in operation, with two more expected to launch later this year. All 12 food hubs will include a seed cleaning and packaging station to increase access to locally grown and adapted seed, where the business case makes sense. ... See MoreSee Less

The Greenery Garden Centre opened on Friday, the earliest ever for the Kelowna nursery. Head grower Bob Hackman says they grew more tropicals this winter to meet increased demand. On Friday, shoppers lined up to get a touch of spring. Growing out more tropicals from smaller plants brought up from the coast was completed to keep retail costs affordable while still generating some profit. Some of the plants were started last August. Typically, the greenhouse opens the third week in March. Subscribe to our monthly newspaper, the agricultural news source for BC's farmers and ranchers. buff.ly/2ReiFur ... See MoreSee Less
