BC's Chief Veterinary Officer has rescinded the order requiring that poultry farmers keep commercial flocks indoors as a defence against highly pathogenic avian influenza.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 ...

At the Guardians of the Grasslands Tour at Indian Gardens Ranch in Savona yesterday, ranch owner Bob Haywood Farmer explained how the lowland behind him is typically full of water in spring, providing water for his cows and a good barometer of how much (or little) moisture there is. “Im worried," he says, "that there is not enough moisture for regrowth on pasture that we grazed early this spring.”

History repeats itself. The cycle continues, that’s farming for ya.

Bob is such a gem.

Great day yesterday Thanks everyone

I would like to have been there.

low spring moisture these last few years is a function of the earth's changing climate. This is not your grand-daddy's drought, this is permanent aridification. and it is caused by loading the atmosphere with carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels. stop supporting this world-poisoning industry and all its captive govenments

If you want to guard the grasslands stop spraying them by helicopter with poison for big $$$$

Canada's mushroom growers will have to post countervailing duties next week following a US Department of Commerce determination that Canada's tax regime effectively subsidized growers, allowing them to cause "material injury" to US growers through their exports. Canada is a major exporter of mushrooms to the US, with the countries effectively operating as a single value chain thanks in part to one of the largest mushroom producers, South Mill Champs, headquartered in Pennsylvania.
