The 2017 Saskatchewan government budget has some tough measures for the rural economy.
The tax exemption for bulk purchases of gasoline is being eliminated.
The tax exemption for bulk purchases of diesel fuel is being reduced to 80 per-cent of purchases to reflect the changing nature of farming and primary production operations and on-road and personal use of this fuel.
The province says the PST exemptions are maintained for farmers including farm machinery, fertilizer, pesticide and seed.
