Over 600 farmers in the Kenora, Rainy River and Thunder Bay Districts
were hit hard by drought like conditions over the summer.
The lack of rain has decimated hay crops, making it difficult for
farmers to feed their cattle.
Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP Ken Boshcoff is urging both levels of
Government to make the area eligibile for drought relief.
He is looking for a total of $6.8 million.
Boshcoff says he’s had positive talks with both the Provincial Liberals
and Federal Conservatives.
