Saskatchewan farmers and ranchers are facing immeasurable challenges this year.
But an increase to the 2021 AgriStability interim benefit might make things a little easier across the province. The federal and provincial governments have agreed to increase benefits from 50 to 75 per cent.
“My heart goes out to those farmers and ranchers feeling the impacts of the drought. We are working closely with provinces to get farm families the support they need as soon as possible. By unlocking more AgriStability funds through interim payments, we can get more cash in hand for farmers who are making tough decisions in a difficult situation and I urge other provinces to request the same if needed,” Federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Marie-Claude Bibeau said in a media release. “We will continue to support farm families to get them through the challenges we face today, and position them for a sustainable future, since we know climate change will continue to pose challenges.”
“In many cases in the fruit and veggie sector, it is the smaller producers as well,” Lewis said. “Canada relies heavily on imported foods in the winter months but we provide some great local products in the summer that should be looked at and are readily available across the province.”
Saskatchewan is largely known for meat, cattle and wheat but there are many other things that are often overlooked according to Lewis.
“Canola and wheat on the crop side are definitely the king. Those two are an example of where Canada is a world leader and Saskatchewan especially,” Lewis said. “When you look at pulse production in the province, peas and lentils, we are major exporters of that.”
