Manitoba drought continues to affect farmers, watersheds, and wetlands across province.
Garry Wasylowski, Chair of the Manitoba Association of Watersheds told 680 CJOB the conditions mean feed for livestock is both hard to come by and much more expensive than usual. He’s had to sell 70 animals, something he would never typically do at this time of year.
“I’m going to try and manage through it, looking for feed, trying to scratch some up,” Wasylowski said.
“Having been around for a number of years, I’ve got some ability to deal with it … but I feel sorry for the younger farmers. How do they deal with something this?”
