Saskatchewan NDP Leader Ryan Meili and Agriculture Critic Trent Wotherspoon.
After little to no rainfall during the late spring and so far this summer farmers, producers and ranchers are suffering, and the devastation across the province has to be seen to be believed.
That, from Saskatchewan NDP Leader Ryan Meili and Agriculture Critic Trent Wotherspoon. Both say they recently spent time touring farms in the southern part of the province, and what they experienced was heartbreaking.
The two have penned a letter to both Premier Scott Moe and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, asking for an immediate aid package.
“This is a crisis that Canada needs to recognize, that the province needs to recognize and the solutions need to be found with producers and ranchers here in Saskatchewan to ensure access to feed, access to water and the supports in place to weather this incredibly terrible challenge,” Wotherspoon said.

Crops in Saskatchewan remain extremely stressed from the lack of moisture and heat the province has been experiencing.
That’s what we learned in the latest crop report. Saskatchewan Agriculture says crops are advancing because of the conditions and many cereal crops have already headed out and are not developing kernels.
The report says any rain received now will not help increase crop yield, but it will help maintain the yields through the heat.
The lack of rain is impacting soil conditions and over half the land is considered very short on moisture.
Saskatchewan Agriculture says some farmers are electing to cut crops as greenfeed.

As the Saskatchewan government and Opposition ask Ottawa for relief, crop development has stumbled. About 51 per cent of fall cereals, 52 per cent of spring cereals, 50 per cent of oilseeds and 49 per cent of pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year, according to the report.
