Resolution

WHEREAS many producers are setting aside forage and grass pasture early to reserve feed supplies for the following grazing season;

WHEREAS large herds of ungulates, such as elk, are moving into these areas and causing significant damage and pasture losses when feed is limited due to drought;

WHEREAS these losses are not covered under existing forage insurance or wildlife damage compensation programming;

BE IT RESOLVED that APAS request Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation to include wildlife damage to reserved pasture land as an eligible loss under the Wildlife Damage Compensation program.
