SARM is concerned that the decision to deny strychnine does not fully account for the cumulative impact of gopher damage on food production, farm viability, and rural community resilience. #RuralMatters #SKAg (2/2)

SARM is deeply disappointed with the PMRA's decision to deny Saskatchewan’s emergency use request for strychnine. Denying emergency use does not eliminate risk; it simply shifts the burden entirely onto producers and municipalities, left with tools they know are not managing the problem. (1/2)

SARM has been strongly advocating for clear, timely, and feasible changes to support producers during drought. The introduction of Satellite Forage Insurance is a welcome change that will provide near-real-time data and certainty for livestock producers. #RuralMatters
