Barry Off president of Saskatchewan Elks
by Shelley Gillespie
Barry Off became the
official Provincial President of the Saskatchewan
Elks Association on June
13 at the Joint Installation of Officers and District Representatives (DR)
Installation
ceremony,
during the four-day, 86th
Annual Provincial Conference held in Esterhazy
June 11-15 at the S.N.
Boreen Community Centre and hosted by members of Esterhazy Lodge
No. 459
More than 100 Elks’
members , their family
members, dignitaries, and
friends came from across
the province to attend the
conference and celebration of the installation of
officers and district representatives; take part in
workshops; canvass for
and collect funds for the
conference charity appeal;
listen to reports on topics
such as the budget, national
charities, and
provincial officers reports;
and to socialize.
Off first became a member of the Saskatchewan
Elks Association when he
was initiated into the Esterhazy Elks Lodge on
April 7, 1987, after Barry
Lowe introduced him to
the organization. When
Lowe went into the Exalted Ruler chair in 1989,
Off took over as Secretary,
where he remained until
1999, when he became Exalted Ruler for two years
in 1999-2000, before returning to his position as
Secretary.
In 2009, Off became the
District Deputy and held
that title until 2012. The
Yorkton Elks, Melville
Elks, Kamsack Elks and
Esterhazy Elks were in
his district. In addition to
his District Deputy responsibilities, Off also

started into the Provincial
Chairs in 2011, first as
Provincial Chaplain, and
next as Third Vice-President, due to some vacancies in the positions before
him.
He vacated the position
of District Deputy to become the Second VicePresident
in
the
Provincial Executive in
2012. It was at this point
that Off felt he needed to
dedicate himself to one
position within the organization. He quickly moved
up to First Vice-President,
and then became the
Provincial President on
June 13, 2015.
As secretary, Off ’s duties were to take the minutes of meetings, keep
reports of fundraisers up
to date, and as District
Deputy/Rep, he visited
lodges in the district,
sharing information from
the grand lodge and
provincial
association.
When Off was Chaplain
he arranged for the
prayers, memorials, and
cards for families. Duties
as third v.p. included confirming the conference
site, as second v.p. he was
the chairman of the membership committee, and as
first v.p. he was the chairman of the forward planning committee. When Off
held the title of Exalted
Ruler, he ran the local
lodge, which was the highest position, but mostly a
figure head that gave
guidance when needed.
“In the home lodge I
have
helped
with
fundraisers such as ATV
derbies in the fall, hockey
pools in the spring, and
snow machine rallies in
the winter,” Off said. “Also,
our lodge has held many
Provincial Elks events
daughter
Stephanie
(Ryan) and daughter Dalene (Kim) are not members, though they do
attend various functions
in support of Off ’s membership.
The Mission Statement
for the Elks of Canada is
“A Volunteer Organization
of Men and Women Serving Communities”, and
one of the duties of all
Elks’ members is to emphasize the importance of
the organization doing
everything they can for
their community.
Off’s itinerary as president will keep him busy
for the next year, as he
travels to other communities to speak about the
Elks and their mission,
takes part in fundraising
events that will see the
proceeds going to a variety of charitable causes
that the Elks support, and
meeting with other Elks
Lodge members to com-
municate their plans and
concerns as they move forward as an organization
that supports communities and their needs.
The Provincial Golf
tournament fundraiser
will take place in Nipawin
June 20-21; the Walk-aThon will also be in Nipawin, Oct. 16-18; and
Provincial Bowling will
take place in Esterhazy
Nov. 14-15. These are just
the provincial fundraisers
that Off will be expected
to attend. His appearance
is also required at 16 different communities to
promote the Elks and
their goals, and he has
four official conferences
and conventions to attend
as well, while still taking
part in all of the local duties at his home lodge in
Esterhazy.

Elks organization, contact

such as the Walk-a-Thon,
Provincial
Curling,
Provincial Golf (twice)
and Provincial Bowling

“For my term as President, my motto is ‘Moving
Forward and With Purpose’. The Elks have to
move on and continue to
volunteer and fundraise
for our communities. We
have to be seen and heard
in our accomplishments
and help through the
province. We hope the
newer generations will
see all that we accomplish
and will want to be a part
of our organization.”
In addition to Off, his
wife Sharon is a member
of the Elks and a past Exalted Ruler of Esterhazy
Lodge, and his son Ryan
is also a member. Off ’s

Update on the effects of flooding in the area
by Shelley Gillespie
The excess runoff from
snow and rain in 2011 and
2014 have had lasting effects
on Esterhazy and area that
are still being dealt with this
spring, as shown in the photo
of C. Duncan Construction’s
equipment as they implement slope remediation to
keep the hills from sliding on
the slope on the left hand
side of the entrance into the
valley on the way to Round
Lake.
Previous seasons had seen
numerous landslides along
the slopes of the valley, and
the Department of Highways
has contracted the construction company to do some preventative work on the slope
alongside the highway to prevent any further slides from
creating a dangerous or inconvenient situation if the
slope were to slide onto the
pavement again.
It isn’t only the slopes that
are receiving preventative
measures that indicate that
the effects of the flooding are
not in the past. One drive
down the access roads next to
the cabins surrounding
Round Lake show that cabin
owners are still cleaning up
after the lake rose and
flooded numerous properties
with lakeside lots.
There are a number of ‘For
Sale’ signs posted along the
access road, showing that
some cabin owners have had
enough. Many cabins were
repaired after the 2011 flood,
only to be damaged again
when the runoff was excessive in 2014. There are brown
industrial garbage bins brimming with damaged wood
and other building materials
that have been removed from
cabins that have been or are
being repaired. Some lots
have heaps of sand and
gravel waiting to be spread
out and leveled off as a measure to build up the height of
the lot, or fresh gravel marks
a lot that has already been
raised.
The Rural Municipalities
in this area are still working
daily to complete repairs and
maintenance to roads that
were run over by water as
the levels rose, washing away
large amounts of dirt, sand,
gravel and clay that were a
part of the roadway prior to
the flood, leaving roads impassible or soft and in need of
attention.
Reeve Arlynn Kurtz of
R.M. of Fertile Belt No. 183
has been dealing with road
maintenance daily since
2011, and hopes that a drier
season this year will allow
There were five major
crossings that needed major
repair in 2014, and the road
crews got them fixed up, according to Apland. Now, the
goal is to maintain the upkeep of all repairs and see to
the details.
The R.M. of Spy Hill No.
152 was unavailable for comment.
The consensus seems to be
that the delays are mostly
caused by supply and demand. There are not enough
construction staff to handle
all that is required in a

INSURANCE
C. Duncan Construction of Spy Hill, on behalf of the Department of
Highways, is keeping employees busy at the entrance to the valley on the

his road crew the chance to
catch up and complete all
necessary repairs by the end
of this summer.
“We have 140 claims with
PDAP (Provincial Disaster
Assistance Program),” Kurtz
said. “It may take years to get
them all complete. After the
runoff in 2014, the West End
hill is permanently done for.
It cannot be repaired. It is
challenging, for sure. There
are tenders out for roadwork,
but this area has needed so
much repair that there are
not enough skilled repairmen, not enough equipment,
and not enough time to get
all repairs done in one season.”
Engineers are doing a
study to see what can be
done north of Esterhazy on
Grid 637. This spring there
were no washouts, which is a
plus, and a number of the big
culverts have been saved.
This spring was rough, according to Kurtz, because
some seeding was done before the frost was completely
out of the ground. Road repair will cost in excess of $7
million, according to Kurtz.
The R.M. of Churchbridge
No. 211 is in pretty good
shape, according to Reeve
Neil Mehrer.
“There has been a bit of
heavy-haul traffic,” Mehrer
said, “but we managed to
keep all of the roads intact.
The highway north of Langenburg went out in 2014,
but we got it replaced before
the June flood that year. We
have been working on water
management for several
decades now, and have good
employees, so we have managed to keep up with everything and avoid any claims
with PDAP.”
The amount of rain and
the topography of the regions
vary quite a bit, according to
Mehrer, and these variations
would partially explain the
difference in damage from
R.M. to R.M.
The R.M. of Saltcoats still
has work to do, according to
Town Administrator Ron Risling. Things have improved
this year, but the R.M. did approach PDAP for an extension, needing more time to
complete the necessary repairs.
“Water levels are high next
to the roads,” Risling said,
“and there are frost boils and
surface breaks that still require attention. We had 88 locations after 2014 that
needed maintenance and repair, and we lost a huge culvert south of Bredenbury.”
The R.M. is starting to
heal slowly, again, according
to Risling, and there is definitely a vast improvement
compared to the original
flooding damage in 2011.
Reeve Ken Apland of the
R.M. of Langenburg No. 181
said that the R.M. is coming
along, although they still
have problems with the roads
in the area.
“We are getting our roadways back into shape,” said
Apland. “We still have some
soft spots, and don’t have the
grids quite where we want
them. We have all the major
work done. It is the minor
fixes and details we need to
deal with to get everything
back to standard. The boys
(road staff) are doing good.”

major repairs are in demand
everywhere, and some maintenance need to wait. Supplies such as gravel and clay
cannot be hauled until a

Report from Ottawa
a message from Garry Breitkreuz, MP
Yorkton-Melville constituency
You get what you pay for
I am full of opinions that work well for me, but probably don’t matter at all in the big
scheme of things, as far as anyone else goes. One of the opinions that I have is to never
hire a relative.
I learned this through experience, and it is both big and small events that have shaped
my final verdict. Family is family and business is business, and there is too much room
for a grey area for it to be a good thing to hire a family member to do a job.
Not to say that family members can’t help each other out. I am not against that. But
if we do something for a family member, or they do something for us, I don’t think that
‘something’ can be converted in a business transaction successfully with a family member.
I love my family, and I work on the firm conviction that they love me too. And that
right there is enough reason to do something to help them out, regardless of whether it
is a big or a small favor, and not be looking for financial compensation.
If it is a big favor that my family member does for me, or if I do one for them, we almost always look at the overall details to see if there is any out-of-pocket expenses that
might be incurred while doing the said favor. There is usually some sort of discussion, and
the amount exchanged lands somewhere comfortably in the middle of ‘free’ and ‘what a
professional would charge’.
For example, if I stop to get a few grocery items for my parents while I am out and
about in the city, I never expect them to pay me for what I get, considering what I have
gotten in return over the years. But my parents insist that they pay for the groceries, so
I have come to a comfortable spot where I accept the payment for the goods, because otherwise, they are upset. I just try to find other way to help out for the hospitality, like
doing the dishes, cleaning up after myself, treating them to a supper once in a while. It
seems to work for us. They feel like they have paid for their goods, and I feel like I have
helped out a little in return.
I have stayed in the city twice while my brother and his family have vacationed in
Hawaii so they would not have to put their cats in a kennel, and truth be told, I would
have done it for free. I have to eat anyway, so I would have bought food during that time,
so groceries were not a new expense. I had a house to myself, and read and watched TV
and had the chance to visit old friends while I was there. It was like a vacation to me.
The second time I stayed, in addition to caring for their two cats, I had a 15-year-old
nephew as a roommate. It was an awesome opportunity to get to know him better, and
he was a big help as far as the day-to-day chores that cannot be avoided.
Still, my brother and his wife insisted on leaving me money for food and incidentals,
and extra cash for me to spend on myself. They insisted that it was much less that they
would have been charged at the kennel, and they enjoyed their holiday more because
they knew that I was there.
The amount was less than what I would have earned if I was at home, but more than
I would have needed to get me to agree to stay.
I accepted, mostly because by this age I do know that those of us receiving the favor
would feel awful if we could not compensate for it in some way.
I have heard horror stories about hiring relatives that have caused permanent rifts in
families, and I have found that almost always there ends up being some kind of resentment when all is said and done, and I have never wanted to risk that.
If I am having something done that I can hire someone to do, and having it done less
than professionally will upset me in some way, I want to hire someone who offers a contract, with everything explained very clearly about what is being done and what everything will cost me, broken down into the details. I don’t want to ask my family members
the same questions that I would ask a contractor or service provider. And I certainly
could not use my negotiating skills in the same way in both scenarios.
I would feel uncomfortable getting the ‘best deal’ from a family member. I would not
want to complain if the work was unsatisfactory. A business deal is just that and no more,
and all conversation will be about what is expected and what it will cost.
That isn’t the relationship I have with my family.
Regardless of your political persuasion, by now you
have to agree with Saskatchewan Party Premier Brad
Wall about one thing:
It’s time to abolish the Senate.
Of course, this is hardly some far out sentiment any
more – the kind confined to the CCF/NDP or intellectual left who have always greatly resented an Upper
House of appointed Lords overseeing the will of the
commoners.
In fact, it was always easy for the sanctimoniously
left to make such grandiose gestures because there was
never any realistic possibility (at least until recently)
that there would ever be a chance of a federal NDP
government exercising patronage.
So as long as the Senate was acting in a benign way
by not doing its job of overturning or even properly
scrutinizing the laws of the elected politicians, it's useless nature was ignored by the public.
Also, given the secrecy the old boys’ and old girls’
club subscribed to when it came to their own expenses
and perks, there was little reason to even think about
the Senate.
But, then along came Stephen Harper who moved
from appointing old party warhorses to TV media personalities like Pamela Wallin and Mike Duffy willing to
exchange their previous good names and reputations
for an role of partisan fund-raiser with the ability to
attract big crowds.
And then along came more efficient, effective and
open audits that revealed not only the alleged abuses
of Duffy, Wallin and Patrick Brazeau, but also the misspending of dozens upon dozens of other Senators.
However, what's now in play goes beyond the alleged
abuses of spending being played out both in the courts
and court of public opinion. We now must ask the ques-
We have every reason to
celebrate on Canada Day
Canada Day is a celebration of all that is great about our country – it
honours our past, our present and our future. Our Government is proud
to celebrate Canada’s rich history, diverse natural and cultural heritage,
strong values and many accomplishments.
Canada Day is a perfect time to remember that heritage; the things we,
as a country, have survived and the things that have made us strong.
Canada Day is a good day to celebrate the common goals and strengths
that unite us.
Canada Day is a good day to strengthen our resolve not to let our differences divide us.
And Canada Day is a good day to commemorate a history filled with notable figures whose legacy has enriched the Canadian and global community.
For instance, Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone
changed the way the world communicates forever. Harriet Tubman’s
courage and determination helped hundreds of slaves escape to freedom
in Canada along the Underground Railroad. Nellie McClung’s leadership
paved the way for equality for women in Canada. Terry Fox’s inspiring
cross-Canada run continues to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Canada’s men and women in uniform have courageously fought
tyranny and evil around the world throughout our history. And, every day,
hard-working and generous Canadians from coast to coast to coast contribute to the Canadian experience.
For nearly a century and a half, Canadians have worked together to
build a place of peace, dignity, and freedom, united and prosperous. The
Fathers of Confederation founded our great country with a vision for a
united and prosperous Canada. A hundred and forty-eight years later,
Canada stands on the world stage as a nation strong and free.
Canadians share so much, including the common national heritage
passed down from previous generations of people who shaped this country. Though our family histories may differ, that heritage is uniquely our
own, whether Canadian by birth or adoption.
Our Government is not content only to look back, however. We’re committed to building a stronger and more prosperous Canada for years to
come. We are helping create jobs and opportunities for all Canadians,
while keeping taxes low and balancing the budget. We are helping make
our streets and communities safer. We are making historic infrastructure
investments in communities across Canada. We are conserving Canada’s
rich natural beauty. And we are protecting and promoting Canadian values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law in Canada and abroad.
Our Government is proud to celebrate Canada – the best country in the
world. God Bless our Country, and Happy Canada Day!

reports
from the
Saskatchewan
Legislature
Senate must go
tion that the NDP have been asking for years and that
Wall is asking right now:
What purpose does the Senate serve?
It can not overturn the will of the elected. That was
demonstrated 25 years ago when the then-Liberaldominated Senate tried to block former Prime Minister
Brian Mulroney’s goods and services tax.
And how did Saskatchewan benefit from this event?
Well, we got the appointments of GST Senators Eric
Berntson (convicted for frauds perpetrated against
Saskatchewan taxpayers for his days in the Grant
Devine government) and David Tkachuk (a one-time
Devine principal secretary who has done little on behalf of the people of Saskatchewan other than collect
his pay cheque).
But it really doesn’t matter whether these Senators
are old Progressive Conservatives or Liberals (who
have been equally nefarious and useless) or true nonpartisans.
The truth of the matter is that for whatever good
these appointees do in their “role” of scrutinizing law,
we could do much better in a much cheaper way by appointing judicial or citizen experts to oversee the supposed tyranny of the House of Commons majority for
specific laws.
This brings us to the questions of who wants the Senate and why.
Well, there are a few commentators who still seem
to be defending the validity of the Senate. But it's hard
not to be a little suspicious that their motives might
have something to do with following the Duffy and
Wallin path.
The “taskless thanks” of the Senate will remain a
prize to such political types.
And there are the well-meaning political science intellectuals who whole-heartedly believe we need that
upper house safeguard.
But even if so, we surely need to get rid of what we
now have.
Why not then have a proportional representation
upper house whose make-up would be based on appointments from every party based on the results of
popular vote from the last election?
What better watchdog/safeguard could there be?
Well, none.
But that's something the politicians who run for specific seats will never allow because it cuts into their
power.
So we seem to be only left with Wall's alternative.
Before we can even think of getting something better,
this Senate has to go.

SPORTS TALK - by Bruce Penton
Home run barrage back in baseball
Something is happening in Major League
Baseball that hasn’t been
seen since the Steroid era
of the late 1990s. The
home run is back, which
means tongues mayl
start wagging pretty soon
that players are juiced,
the ball is doctored, the
bats are filled with cork
and hey, Alex Rodriguez
is back from his one-year
suspension.
Home runs are flying
out of major league stadiums so often that at the
one-third pole, eight or
nine players were on pace
to exceed 50 homers for
the 2015 season. Considering only 11 players hit
more than 30 last year,
and Nelson Cruz of the
Orioles led the majors
with 40, this year’s numbers are astonishing.
Writer Tom Verducci of
SI.com calls this year’s
group of young sluggers
the best to come along in
the past 60 years.
So what’s happening?
Baseball has a new commissioner, but Rob Manfred replacing Bud Selig
can’t be the reason for the
power surge.
No, what’s happening is
that the next wave of
baseball superstars is finally starting to fill out
its
promise.
Bryce
Harper, the Washington
whiz kid who was 19
when he played his first
big-league game, and
Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton, a 25-year-old Californian, are setting the
pace. On June 13, Stanton’s 22 blasts led Harper
by one. Both are threatening to approach the formerly magic ‘60’ mark.
Harper’s earning $2.5
million and called “the
best bargain in baseball”
by one sportswriter. Stanton signed a $325 million
contract for 13 years this
past off-season, so maybe
he feels obligated to hit a
bunch of homers. Cruz,
now a Mariner, is proving
last year was no fluke,
with 18 homers and on a
54-homer pace. Then
there’s arguably the best
player in the game, Mike
Trout of the Angels, who
has slugged 16. Ever
heard of Joc Pederson?
He’s a rookie flash with
the Dodgers who belted
17 homers in his first 54
games. Then there’s the
likes of young sluggers
Kris Bryant of the Cubs
and Joey Gallo of the
Texas Rangers, who were
kept in the minors for
seven or eight weeks so
their teams could get one
more full season out of
them before free agency
eligibility.
Chicks dig the long
ball, goes the saying. So
do baseball fans of either
gender. This year, there’s
a lot of diggin’ going on.
And it’s – boom! slam!
crash! – great.
• Brad Dickson of the
Omaha
World-Herald:
“There is an online video
of two bears in New Jersey fighting over garbage.
This actually sounds a lot
more interesting to me
than Mayweather-Pacquiao II.”
•
Dickson
again:
“Yahoo! will carry the
first Internet-only NFL
game, a contest next October between the Bills
and Jaguars. Because it’s
the Bills and Jags, for
that one day Yahoo! will
be dropping the “!”.
• TC in BC: “Japanese
airbag maker Takata has
recalled over 34 million
cars in North America
due to malfunctioning
airbags. Tom Brady says
that he knows how to fix
them if they are overinflating.”
• Blogger Chad Picasner: “Bryce Harper, who
is among the leaders in
the the Major Leagues in
homers and arguments at
home plate, is considering
sitting out the Home Run
Derby at the All-Star
game. Will someone
please tell him there are
no umpires for that
event?”
• Dwight Perry of the
Seattle Times: “Headline
in The East Oregonian:
‘Amphibious
pitcher
makes debut.’ Apparently
the A’s ambidextrous Pat
Venditte is good insurance against rainouts,
too.”
• Comedy writer Alan
Ray, on why American
Pharoah is the Marshawn Lynch of horse
racing: “He’s fast, agile,
and won’t talk to the
media.”
• NBC’s Jimmy Fallon,
after the Cavaliers’ oneman show helped win
Game 2 of the NBA playoffs: “LeBron James said
it was a huge win, and he
couldn’t have done it
UPCOMING EVENTS
without the ball.”
• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “In Game 1 of
the Stanley Cup final,
Bolts defenceman Victor
Hedman claims Andrew
Shaw of the Hawks bit
him. You've got to be kidding – a hockey player
with teeth?”
• Comedian Conan
O’Brien on late-night
TNT: “Kim Kardashian
rented out the Staples
Center for Kanye West’s
birthday and Kanye got
to play a basketball game
with friends, including
Justin Bieber and 2
Chainz. They beat the
Lakers in overtime.”
• Comedy writer Alex
Kaseberg:
“The
US
women’s team beat Australia 3-1 in the FIFA
World Cup. It was exciting, there was a FIFA executive at the game who
throw out the first bribe.”
• Dan Daly, via Facebook, on reports that
American Pharoah’s stud
fee could reach $175,000
per: “For that kind of
money, they should rename him American Gigolo.”
• Another one from
Perry: “Barcelona soccer
star Lionel Messi is set to
face trial in Spain for tax
fraud to the tune of $4.6
million. He faces possible
jail time and/or a fine, but
defence lawyers hope to
get him off with just a
yellow card.”

Alice Chomos
(Herperger)
The family of Alice
Chomos is sad to announce her death on June
12, 2015, in St. Anthony’s
Hospital, Esterhazy, at
the age of 95.
Alice was born to
Joseph and Julia (Shivak)
Herperger in 1920 in the
Stockholm District.
Alice was a loving wife
and mother whose devotion to her faith and
church will be one of her
many legacies.
She
loved
playing
bridge, sewing, cooking
and volunteering in her
church and community.
Our mother never lost her
keen interest in the lives
of her family and the
world around her.
Alice was predeceased
by her husband, Frank;
son-in-law, Bryce Eckstein; brothers: John, Joe,
Stanley and Steve; sisters:
Annie Drozda and Margaret Schmidt; brothers
in-laws: John and Joseph
Chomos, Steve Stadler,
Paul Csigi, Jim Drozda
and Leonard Schmidt; sisters-in-law: Martha Herperger, Agnes Herperger,
Annie Stadler, Margaret
Chomos and Barbara
Csigi.
Left to cherish her
memory are her children:
Audrey Eckstein, Jerome,
Father Basil, Raymond
(Heather),
Lawrence
(Linda) and Annie (Larry)
Chirka as well as her
grandchildren:
Paul
Chomos (Robbyn), Kathleen
Chomos,
Laura
Chomos, Scott Chomos
(Gisele), Geoff Chomos
(Patrice), Adam Chomos
(Chelsea), Alison Jackson
(Bryan), Ian and Evan
Eckstein and Paul and
Julia Chirka.
She is also survived by
her
brothers:
Frank
(Betty), Peter (Ann) and
Emery (Bonnie); sistersin-law: Mary Herperger
Crop report
For the Period June 9-15, 2015
Much of the province received scattered rainfall that
helped replenish topsoil moisture conditions in some regions. However, significant rain is needed soon in many
areas to help crops, hay and pasture develop.
Topsoil moisture conditions continue to deteriorate
despite the recent rain. Provincially, topsoil moisture
conditions on cropland are rated as three per cent surplus, 45 per cent adequate, 35 per cent short and 17 per
cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture
is rated as one per cent surplus, 33 per cent adequate, 42
per cent short and 24 per cent very short. Much of the
hay is in poor condition and concerns about feed shortages continue. The Ministry of Agriculture has a Forage,
Feed and Custom Service listing for producers to advertise and source feed products: http://www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/FeedForageListing#bmk
Crop development is delayed in some areas, mainly
due to cool and dry weather. Fifty-one per cent of fall cereals, 60 per cent of spring cereals, 53 per cent of
oilseeds and 56 per cent of pulse crops are at their normal developmental stages for this time of year. The majority of crops are in fair to good condition. Crop damage
was mainly caused by lack of moisture, hail and insects
such as grasshoppers and flea beetles.
Farmers are busy controlling pests and hauling grain.
One year ago
Producers had 95 per cent of the crop in the ground.
Cool weather and heavy rain delayed crop development
in much of the province.

APAS Calls for Early Action for Livestock Producers
Livestock numbers could be detrimentally affected in most of Saskatchewan as dry conditions continue to persist.

Don Ross
Client Relationship
Consultant, APAS
Normal or below normal snowfall during the
2014 winter and inadequate rainfall since April
over most of the crop land

and grow the livestock
sector.” says Hall. “However, for many, there will
be limited or no hay harvested this year. Livestock producers need to
find grass and water for
the summer months and

that could not be seeded
to sow those acres to
green feed and for other
farmers with extra hay to

registry. When natural
disaster strikes, collectively we rally to overcome the obstacles and
help out our neighbours
to get over the hurdles.
