Workshops coming on long term forecast for Columbia Basin water supply and demand
Washington Ag Today August 25, 2011 How much water will be needed to support communities, farms and fish in the Columbia Basin and where it will come from is the focus of a near-final report from the Washington Department of Ecology’s Office of Columbia River. “The Columbia River Basin Long-Term Water Supply and Forecast” is being developed by Ecology with assistance from Washington State University and Department of Fish and Wildlife. A series of public workshops is scheduled next month on the forecast. They will be September 7th in Richland, September 8th in Wenatchee and September 9th in Spokane. More details are available on Ecology’s website. Now this from Stock land Livestock. This is Jack McQuinness here at Stock land Livestock in Davenport. Two sales this week. We had small animals on Tuesday. Cattle on Monday. Steady market on cows and bulls. Continued good demand for all weights and classes of feeder cattle though we had a limited test. Tuesday we had small animals. Lambs topped at $2.21 a pound for some light lambs weighing under 80 pounds. Big sale next week. The 29th we will have feeder cattle and weigh up cows and bulls. Expecting about 7-800 head. No sale on the 5th but we will be back on September 12th. That is all here at Stock land Livestock in Davenport. Thanks Jack. I’m Bob Hoff and that’s Washington Ag Today on Northwest Aginfo Net.
