## Resource

A BC cattle rancher faces a $100K feed bill after provincial water restrictions halt irrigation on 160 acres—just as crops need it most. The move, aimed at saving endangered chinook salmon in the Salmon River, forces farmers to shoulder the environmental crisis’ economic toll. With record-low river levels and salmon struggling in shallow waters, ranchers demand compensation while calling for smarter, long-term water solutions like reservoirs to balance agriculture and ecology.
