BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya ,Philippines  – The provincial government of Isabela is considering adjustments in the cropping schedule of its farmers to suit the changing weather patterns.

“We have suggested to farmers and other stakeholders a possible revision in the cropping pattern being followed in the province (and the rest of the region) to avoid reaching typhoon months (when massive destruction of crops occur),” Isabela Gov. Faustino Dy III said during a climate change summit last Friday.

Isabela lost more than P3 billion worth of crops, mostly rice and corn in last year’s typhoons.
