Two Saskatchewan farm groups are working together to support livestock producers facing drought conditions.

The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association and Sask. Forage Seed Development Commission (SFSDC) are working together on a forage straw drop in the province’s northeast.

The organization offices will lead the communication between livestock producers looking for straw and forage seed producers who have straw available.

Interested farmers are required to complete an online registration form.

After they’re connected with a producer who has straw available, the two individuals will make a deal between themselves about the sale and removal of the straw.

Anyone looking for more information about the program can call the Stock Growers Association at 306-757-8527.

Livestock manure can be a powerful tool if we manage it correctly and use it strategically as part of a nutrient management program. In this video, Jason is sharing what we saw from our first year incorporating swine effluent.
