Summer grazing pastures in B.C. being destroyed by wildfires
MELFORT, Sask. — The record number of wildfires in British Columbia are not only destroying trees but summer grazing pastures as well.
General manager of the BC Cattlemen’s Association Kevin Boon said the situation is more serious in central and southern regions of the province.
“From mid-province south in the interior, it has had no moisture basically since early April, perhaps late March,” Boon said.
A cold spring deterred the start of a lot of crops and then the heat event in late May caused more issues.
