Saskatchewan Announces $70 Million for Drought-Hit Livestock Producers

Up to $70 million is being made available by the Saskatchewan government to help farmers offset the extraordinary costs of feeding livestock in the wake of this year’s drought. 

Announced Monday, the funding will provide eligible producers with up to $80 per head to maintain breeding stock for beef cattle, bison, horse, elk, deer, sheep and goats.  

The program, to be administered by Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC), will make funding available based on receipts or appropriate documentation for “extraordinary expenses for the purchase of feed or transportation of feed or livestock,” to provide cash flow to eligible producers impacted by significant drought.
