Snowy Weather Poses Risk to Forage Crops in Peace Country
District Agriculturist Dale Engstrom says light snow is not helping the land as it may fail to build moisture for forage crops. After a Tuesday tour he urged more snow to replenish reserves, noting reports of fencing amid a frost shortage. In Fort Nelson oil sites, frost is scarce at six to eight inches with workers hoping for two weeks of 30 below temperatures.
