By working with grain companies and railways, the Saskatchewan Stock Growers’ Association plans to bring feed grains to drought-stricken livestock producers in the province.

The Saskatchewan Stock Growers’ Association (SSGA) is working with railways and grain companies to help plug the feed gap in Saskatchewan. 

So far a few companies have signed on to bring corn, dried distillers’ grains (DDGs) or other feed grains from the U.S. The SSGA also encourages producers who are interested in buying feed grain to check with their local grain companies. 

North West Terminals in Unity is currently selling corn. Producers can call Nicole Squires at 306-213-7249 (cell) or 306-228-3735 (office).
