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.”
