Fraser Valley/Victoria – The Government of British Columbia is hosting a series of in-person workshops in more than 30 communities to help farmers around the province prepare for potential drought this summer.
At these workshops, farmers will receive practical, step-by-step water management advice and information about available financial support.
The workshops are part of the B.C. government’s efforts to help farmers prepare for drought and understand how water management decisions are made. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food also funds on-farm projects for drought and other extreme-weather events, as well as providing crop insurance and income protection programs to help farms with crop losses and revenue declines.
