Farm forage crops thrive in Dawson Creek area
Local farmers Faye Cox of Lone Prairie and Francis Dufresne of Boucher Lake report an excellent year for forage and pastures with heavy clover and grass stands. Cereal crops head out inconsistently due to a hot spell early summer while nearby grain looks promising with additional warmth. The Dawson Creek Agriculturist Office notes cereal yields may rise 10 to 15 percent year over year and hay and pasture yields are strong though seed crops suffer from insufficient warm weather.
