Saskatchewan Stock Growers seek fire insurance for grassland

Livestock producers dealt with several serious issues during the recent annual Saskatchewan Stock Growers convention in Regina.
 
The SSGA’s membership passed a series of resolutions.
 
The resolutions call upon the Saskatchewan government to offer fire insurance for grass.
 
As well, there is a request for the province to permit a licensed hunt of cougars in response to some animals threatening livestock.
 
There’s also a call to review policies on taxing land made unproductive by large-scale flooding and to retain the existing fuel tax exemption.
