Technology helps grain farmers confront weather woes [Video]

British Columbia grain farmer Malcolm Odermatt says all he can do is pray for rain this spring after repeated droughts sabotaged his harvest last year.

Odermatt, who is also the president of the BC Grain Growers Association, has been working with his father since 2012 to farm about 2,000 acres of land in the Peace region of B.C.’s northeast. He said seeding typically begins in May and although he’s worried, he hasn’t yet lost hope the weather will turn around.
