Sask. makes water, vacant land available

Saskatchewan’s Water Security Agency has announced it will make water and vacant land available to farmers and livestock producers during the drought.

The agency owns and manages land across the province and those who live near these lands can contact it to see if under-used or vacant land is available.

“With the well-below normal amounts of moisture in many areas across Saskatchewan, our government is working hard to support our farmers and ranchers,” said Jeremy Cockrill, minister responsible for the agency. “WSA is looking to make water available to producers in areas experiencing drought conditions or allow ranchers to use vacant WSA-owned lands for feed suppliers.”

A chain harrow is a game changer

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.
