The Public Good Could Be Bad for this Farmer in Sumas Prairie

The show today has two segments, both concerning undesirable amounts of water.

In segment one, Dave Russenberger wrestles with a public plan that carries serious implications for his dariy farm in the Sumas Prairie.

In segment two, greater Vernon farmers talk about the impacts of a mandatory 70% reduction to their annual irrigation allocation. Some believe this sacrifice could and should have been avoided, but I'm not so sure.
