The federal and provincial agriculture ministers will be touring a poultry farm today that was affected by last month's devastating floods.
Ministers Marie-Claude Bibeau and Lana Popham are expected to address recovery and rebuilding efforts for farmers during the visit to Abbotsford.
Popham has said 628-thousand chickens, 420 dairy cattle and roughly 12-thousand hogs died in the region's Sumas Prairie.
Historic flooding resulting from a series of so-called ``atmospheric rivers'' triggered widespread evacuation orders in the area and submerged many properties.
