VANCOUVER -- More than 160 farms are in the way of floodwaters in British Columbia's Fraser Valley, although provincial Agriculture Minister Lana Popham says poultry, cows and hogs are considered safe.

Floodwaters from the Nooksack River in Washington state continue to threaten the area and will rise into Friday.

More coming.
