BC Cattlemen's Association raises the alarm over drought
Published 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Drought is once again becoming a growing concern in British Columbia, and cattle producers are already starting to ring the alarm bells. In a statement, the BC Cattlemen’s Association (BCCA) says low snowpack, dry conditions and ongoing water shortages are putting pressure on ranchers heading into the summer grazing season. It's urging the province to preserve critical water-storage infrastructure and calling for a halt to any plans to remove or decommission it.
