Forage growers offer straw for livestock feed

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.

Video: You Never Want to Find This in a Feed Bin



We found something in bin 12 that no pig farmer ever wants to see. Feed caked up solid in the boot, and when that line is feeding thousands of hogs, you fix it today, not tomorrow. That is just where the day starts. The pigs worked half the gates loose again, so Tork and I are going pen to pen putting them back together. Then it is the barn door repair, rebuilding the wash room, and a walk through a freshly washed barn getting ready for the next group. Pig farming is fixing the same things over and over and keeping the barns running no matter what.
