The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. (SCIC) is releasing eligibility requirements for livestock producers and is committing to provide provincial support for those who fall outside identified drought-impacted areas.
The federal government, along with Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia governments, announced plans last week to help producers cover the costs of feed and extraordinary expenses linked to this year’s drought.
SCIC has now opened applications for the Canada-Saskatchewan Feed Program, which will allow livestock producers to claim up to 70 percent of extraordinary costs associated with feed and freight incurred between May 1, 2023, and March 1, 2024.
Eligible producers will be able to access an initial payment of up to $150 per head.
