Tyler Fulton, president of the Manitoba Beef Producers, said time is running out for many producers who, along with their families, are a key part of the rural community.
“All of this is at risk. Because of the drought challenges, some producers are making the very difficult decision to disperse part or all of their herds. It’s a heavy toll on their mental health,” said Fulton.
“One family who we heard from at the office this week had to disperse their whole herd. They said can you imagine how it feels to see years of hard work and love for farming go onto a truck. This is our livelihood. It’s heartbreaking.”
Ottawa offers support to drought-stricken farmers By Jeff Labine. Published on Jul 22, 2021 5:53pm Beef cattle (Matthew Usherwood/iPolitics)
Canadian farmers besieged by severe drought will be getting some help from the federal government.
Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau announced on Thursday a list of support measures for farmers in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.
This includes early designation of the Livestock Tax Deferral provision allowing beef producers to defer a portion of sale proceeds to the following year making drought-damaged crops available for feed and allowing impacted provinces to delay their participation in the AgriStability risk-management program, which producers can receive payment through if their production margin falls more than 30 per cent below what it is historically.
