With highways closed connecting the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island to the rest of Canada, B.C.香蕉视频直播檚 milk farmers are facing steep challenges getting their supply to consumers.
The B.C. Milk Marketing Board directed producers in the Fraser Valley, Okanagan and Interior on Tuesday (Nov. 16) to dispose of milk in their manure pits. Before disposing, producers are being asked to record their dipstick measurements.
Meanwhile, in areas relatively unaffected by the floods, such as the Kootenays, supply will be sent to Alberta.
The board said it is working closely with transporters to manage milk pickup where possible.
