Columbia Británica/Canadá: Río atmosférico inunda campos de berries, evaluaciones en curso

A Fraser Valley farmer says his berry fields are flooded after heavy rainfall across much of southwestern B.C., as he and others in the farming community brace for more rain.

Harry Sidhu, whose family owns a blueberry farm on the Sumas Prairie, says he is among those nervously watching the skies after an atmospheric river dumped up to 200 millimetres of rain on the South Coast over the weekend, according to the province’s River Forecast Centre.

Sidhu says farmers are still recovering from the catastrophic November 2021 floods that destroyed farms on the Sumas Prairie, a low-lying part of the Fraser Valley about 90 kilometres east of Vancouver.
