Dry conditions in Saskatchewan have some Livestock producers concerned.
Normal or below normal snowfall during the winter and inadequate rainfall since April over most of the crop land south of Prince Albert is leaving pasture and hay lands parched.
"A lot of the pastures are either in poorer or worse shape but the hay is, in a lot of cases - done. It's heading out 4 to 6 ito 8 inches high and that's it," said Norm Hall, President of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS).
Hall says its amazing the difference a year can make. Livestock producers need to find grass and water for the summer months and find alternate hay sources for the coming winter months if our breeding herd is to be maintained. He says as a result they're calling for help.
