WESTERN PRODUCER — The largest irrigation district in Saskatchewan is encouraging members to drop straw this harvest season.
The South Saskatchewan River Irrigation District No. 1 said July 26 it asks all irrigators to drop straw to help feed livestock this winter.
SSRID’s office will co-ordinate the process to get feed where it needs to go.
Livestock producers who want to buy straw can contact the office for names of irrigators who have straw available.
The two parties will arrange payment and pickup themselves. SSRID will then follow up with irrigators to find out how much straw is still available.
Interested sellers and buyers should contact SSRID at 306-867-9923.
