Hundreds of farmers and ranchers hit hard by drought conditions took part in two town halls this week put on by the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association (SCA).
The first was in Cabri where over 100 people were in attendance, while the second in Cadillac saw around 80 participate. Two town halls were also held last week in Perdue and Kindersley.
Up for discussion were supports available like the forage rainfall insurance program and the change to the low yield threshold which allows poor crops to be used as feed. Representatives from the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), the Agricultural Producers Association Of Saskatchewan (APAS), and the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) were also in attendance to answer questions.
Grant McLellan, CEO of the SCA, told farmnewsNOW many also took the time to share their biggest challenges.
