There has been a lot of replanting/rejuvenation happening in blueberry fields that have faced flooding over the last several years. I know we circulated WA options last winter but there has been a BC program now available which I wanted to highlight.

It’s guaranteed you’ve received a notice of assessment with payment expectations for all the berry crops you grow from the different commissions/councils. Yes, I know, you’re burnt out, still harvesting, and the last thing on your mind is paperwork.
