Saskatchewan farm groups lays groundwork for drought response
MELFORT, Sask. — Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) has outlined a strategy to help producers cope with current drought conditions.
APAS is calling on both the federal and provincial governments to initiate a drought related AgriRecovery assessment.
“We can’t just keep hoping for rain. It is time to act,” said APAS president, Todd Lewis.
APAS has requested that both levels of government extend the enrollment period for AgriStability, plus increase AgriStability coverage levels.
