The President of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) has mixed feelings about Tuesday's federal budget.
Bill Prybylski, who farms in the Willowbrook area, was pleased to see that agriculture was actually mentioned in the budget.
He says there were some positives in the budget, like investment in infrastructure, the reinstatement of the accelerated capital cost allowance, and red tape reduction.
Prybylski was also pleased to see the permanent reversal of the Capital Gains tax increase.
But he says the announced changes to AgriStability won't make a difference to most producers, dealing with canola, pea and pork tariffs.
Prybylski notes budget details are still quite sparse, so there's more work to be done in studying the document.
He's also worried about possible budget cuts to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, which could affect agriculture research.
