Livestock Producers Looking For Feed

There are a number of Livestock producers who are still looking for additional feed to have on hand over the winter.
 
A hot dry summer in many areas of the province resulted in a lower than anticipated hay harvest.
 
Our neighbors to the east in parts of Manitoba had a good hay yield and in some areas are even looking at a third cut.  
 
Meantime here at home, producers wanting to sell or buy forage, green feed or standing crops can contact the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Forage, Feed and Custom Service Listing online or call the Agriculture Knowledge Centre (AKC) at 1-866-457-2377.

The purpose of the Profitable Pasture conference is to bring fresh ideas and new research results to Ontario grazing managers across the ruminant livestock sectors. These conferences have a major focus on pasture management.
