Hundreds of livestock producers in Manitoba are facing hay and feed shortages, because a two-year drought has cut forage production by half or worse this summer.
To help producers who are short on feed, the Keystone Agricultural Producers and the Manitoba Beef Producers are urging farmers to publicly list all sources of hay, straw and alternative feeds.
“We are encouraging producers with these kinds of resources available to consider listing them for sale,” said Tom Teichroeb, MBP president and a farmer near Langruth, Man.
“Many beef producers have been hard hit by back-to-back dry conditions that have led to diminished pasture and forage yields and depleted their hay and straw reserves.”
