Livestock Feed Options

Forage growers offer straw for livestock feed

Aug 22, 2023 | 2:29 PM

Saskatchewan livestock producers searching for feed have another option to consider.

The forage straw drop-off program was started by the Saskatchewan Forage Seed Development Commission (SFSDC) and Saskatchewan Stock Growers (SSGA).

SFSDC producers in northeast Saskatchewan have straw available for sale.

The two groups will lead the communication process and connect livestock producers to forage seed growers that have straw available.

A livestock producer interested in purchasing straw must complete an online registration form and then will be connected with forage seed producers that have straw available for sale.
