As crops wither and livestock producers face challenges, SARM is closely monitoring the situation.
Orb acknowledged the urgency for assistance and called for unity between grain and cattle farmers.
While short-term support efforts are in motion, SARM is collaborating with organizations like the SCA and Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association to establish more robust forage insurance programs.
Additionally, discussions with the federal government about AgriRecovery are underway.
Orb remains cautiously optimistic about federal aid, emphasizing the importance of timely solutions. One potential long-term remedy under consideration is the Lake Diefenbaker Irrigation Project.
Orb plans to discuss this with ministers in Ottawa, aiming to secure funding for the project.
In the midst of adversity, collaboration and timely solutions are crucial for the survival of Saskatchewan's agriculture.
