As fruit buds swell, B.C. farmers hit by 2024 deep freeze hope for better harvest

Farmers in B.C. Are hopeful for a better harvest in 2025 after a devastating deep freeze in 2024 that wiped out most crops, costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
The B.C. Government has committed up to $70 million to help replant and strengthen fruit orchards and vineyards after last year's losses.
