Some producers look to irrigation as drought drags on
It is well known that this summer has been brutally hot and dry. It is also well known that because of the weather, many farmers across the province are suffering.
The dry conditions have left some crops in poor condition, leaving farmers to make costly choices in some cases.
Aaron Grey is the chair of the Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association, and he joined 650 CKOM’s Brent Loucks to discuss farming and irrigation.
“If a farmer decides he wants to get irrigation and in his mind, he thinks he’s close enough to a water source, the first call is to the Irrigation Ministry of Ag in Outlook,” Grey said.
