Drought Support for Saskatchewan Livestock Producers

Support is coming for Saskatchewan livestock producers affected by drought. On August 21, 2023, The Government of Saskatchewan announced the province is making up to $70 million available to help offset extraordinary costs of feeding livestock to maintain the breeding herd in Saskatchewan.

Many Saskatchewan producers are facing challenges this growing season as dry conditions are negatively impacting crop potential, including forage crops. The 2023 doubled low yield appraisal is only available to customers who bale, graze or silage their crops (including cereals, pulses, canola and flax). SCIC has flexible processes to support producers making timely, on-farm decisions for their operations.
