The sod for the seven FIFA World Cup matches beginning this Saturday at BC Place was grown by Bos Sod Farms in Abbotsford. During a tour of the Bos family's turf farm hosted by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce last week, Bert Bos said getting the hybrid of 95% real grass and 5% artificial turf just right was a learning experience. "That hybrid component makes it very robust," he says. "There's a whole battery of testing they do."

So let’s cut the water for the ones growing the food that feed the people. Makes total sense 🙄

Hey let's put up an AI Center in the OKANAGAN, we don't need water for FOOD! #ThatAnnouncementWillBeNext

Time for the city folks to stand up for the farmers and realize how devistating these changes will be. Definitely golf courses and city green space need to be shut off before food supply does.

All the golf courses had better have turned all their irrigation off before any primary producers are forced to.

no people or no food, tough choices

crazy shit, shut down nthe golf courses, nom water for them

BC Agriculture Minister Lana Popham is hinting at upcoming announcements on food processing within the Agricultural Land Reserve and flood mitigation support. Speaking at the Abbotsford Chamber's Agriculture Bus Tour June 5, she signalled policy changes may be coming "in the next few weeks." On flooding, she says progress over the past four months has been significant. "We're very confident compared to where we were six months ago."

So are these actual farmers or just some university students who THINK they can save the world .

I’m still waiting for Ms Popham to accept one of my 86 invitations to meet with me to discuss the ALR dumping ground next to my house. Maybe 87 will be the charm? Lana Popham

Lana is a joke. She came up here to the NP promising to do Everything in her power along with Whoregan and the rest of them, to stop the FLOODING OF 10,000 ACRES of PRIME CLASS 1 FIELD TO PLATE FOOD PRODUCING LAND, in the Peace Valley. But she was just like the rest of the puppets looking for her election and Ag Minister postition. Yep they LIED, they had the chance but not. Now our Northern Food security is threatened and the beautiful limited land is gone under 60 meters of water and the landslides to follow. How is it the Valley, that used to be a vibrant Wetland, floods and yet there is a shortage of fresh WATER for Vancouver? The entire region of Richmond is below sea level, why not FLOOD some of that with the LARGE AMOUNTS OF FRWSH WATER pouring off of the Mountainsides in the Valley, store and and USE it for your new Data centers....

useless ndp

BC's Chief Veterinary Officer has rescinded the order requiring that poultry farmers keep commercial flocks indoors as a defence against highly pathogenic avian influenza. While detections at farms in Alberta and Saskatchewan keep growers on alert, with biosecurity at a yellow level (a step down from red), warmer weather and the end of spring migration means birds are at less risk outdoors than during the winter. Growers will continue to maintain strong biosecurity, and investigate new methods for protecting their farms, including the use of drones to discourage waterfowl from visiting their propertie#BCAg#BCAg ...
