The President of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association says 2021 was a rough year for agriculture.
Bob Lowe says fires in BC the drought from western side of Ontario West took up a lot of time, a lot of effort and a lot of mental anguish from producers.
"We're all familiar with droughts but not one that basically covers western North America. So it's not a matter of going 100 or 200 miles to find feed you go to the Hay West program from the East Coast, and we're bringing corn up from Iowa."
He says the Hay West Program has been very beneficial for producers.
