Ottawa' $177 million to extend the Wine Industry Support prog wont go far in BC. It's based on production. "If there’s no grapes, there’s no wine, and no wine means you’re not necessarily eligible for the funding," says Miles Prodan, president and CEO of Wine Growers BC. #CLinBC

Sure as our March paper went to press last night, the province backed down today on changes to the Land Act, the focus of our front-page story! The announcement came less than 24 hours after the government prioritized reconciliation with Indigenous peoples in its throne speech.
Agriculture rated barely a mention in yesterday's throne speech from Victoria. For more, see today's Farm News Update: countrylifeinbc.com/throne-speech-…
This is old news now by today's standards, but I only found out about this very sad loss. David, you were profound. Every time you stepped into the office, my soul filled with adrenaline and respect.

Miss you 💚. @CLinBC countrylifeinbc.com/bc-agriculture…

The province’s pledge to permanently fund 40 seats for BC students at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine was welcome news to livestock and poultry sectors, but a new study says a local option is needed to support local food production. countrylifeinbc.com/northern-vets-…
After an exceptionally dry March, AAFC declared Kelowna & Vernon in severe drought March 31. On the coast, dry conditions could mean lower Fraser River streamflows - a long-term trend that cud see the water supply window for Rmond & Delta growers of just 3 hours/day in future.

A carbon tax rebate will save BC greenhouse operators upwards of $20 million this year. Growers will pay just 20% of the carbon tax levied on NG and propane in a new point-of-sale carbon tax rebate announced in the provincial budget. countrylifeinbc.com/carbon-tax-rel…
BC Fruit Growers is proposing a pilot project to help smaller farm operations access labour by allowing temporary foreign workers to work for multiple employers during their stay in BC. Currently, SAWP workers are limited to a single, specific employer. countrylifeinbc.com/industry-looks…
A private members bill to ensure 600 acres of prime Delta farmland is preserved in perpetuity for soil-based agriculture and migratory bird habitat underscores the importance of the province's ALR as it turns 50 this month. countrylifeinbc.com/crossroads-ahe…
The province remained short on details Thursday as it repeated an announcement it plans to invest $5 million in a new animal disease preparedness and response program.
