A deadline for farmers and Rural Municipalities is fast approaching.

The Ministry of Agriculture is accepting applications for the Gopher Control Rebate program until Nov. 30.

Under the program, eligible applicants receive a 50 per cent rebate on products purchased to control gopher populations.

“Gophers continue to be a serious problem for farmers and ranchers in Saskatchewan,” said Bob Bjornerud, agriculture minister in a news release.

“This program provides support to help producers manage the gopher populations.”
