Saskatchewan cattle group asks Ottawa to contribute to AgriRecovery

SCA chair Keith Day sent a letter to Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay yesterday saying many cattle producers in Saskatchewan have been hit by drought conditions, some for the fourth and fifth year, resulting in feed shortages going into the fall and winter.
