Today Federal Agriculture Minister, Marie Claude Bibeau and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced additional program measures and flexibility to help address the dry conditions across the province.

The moisture will help with crop germination and growth, while encouraging hay land and pasture growth. Across the province, seeding operations are mostly complete, but there are a few fields being seeded for green feed and silage.
