The smoke in the air around the Peace and Mackenzie Region has cleared up a little.

However, the fire season continues, and the fires around the area are causing a lot of nervousness amongst residents.

Farmers and Ranchers are feeling a little hesitant as well, as livestock and crops in the field maybe showing the effects of the poor Air Quality.

While the effects may be showing, ranchers and crop specialsts are still optimistic of the growing season, especially since the seeding happened earlier than usual this year.

Peter Konstapel is the Zone 4 Director of the Alberta Pulse Growers.
