Funding supports cow-calf producers in protecting surface water

The governments of Canada and Saskatchewan have announced a new beneficial management practice for cow-calf producers under the Farm Stewardship Program.​ Eligible beef cow-calf producers can now access cost-shared funding of up to 75 per cent of project costs, to a maximum payment of $15,000, for the development of preventative run-off control measures. Eligible projects include; holding or retention ponds for collecting run-off, ditches, berms or dykes and earthwork or pen re-grading to achieve proper run-off.
