This appears to be more than the SSGA has done for Saskatchewan cattle producers in recent years.
Just out of curiosity, I went to the SSGA website, just to see what was going on. Other than backing the TESA Environmental Stewardship stuff, just what is the SSGA doing for us? I sign onto the Alberta Beef Producer's website and I see they've sponsored stewardship, have given access to Canfax daily reports, have multiple educational initiatives, etc etc etc.

Rod are you a member of the SSGA? If you are you should be getting the magazine 6 times a year if not you get the super issue in September.
In the last year the SSGA and the SCFA have started up the Beef industry Committee which has hired Tim Highmoor from Western Beef to work as a economist on behalf of the cattlfe industry. He probably knows the CAIS program better then anyone in government and has been asked to meet with them to correct flaws in the progam. We have a land use committee that meets with Lands branch at least twice a year dealing on Crown land issues and taxation. We have people on the BIC and many CCA committees and Quality Starts Here. Carl Block past president of SSGA was instrumental in CCIA. We deal with SE on wildlife and hunting issues. A member sits on FACS and SPCA. The Brand inspection services and the SVMA. We were lead on the Corn duty case even before the cattle feeders. We supported CCIA in keeping age verification vouluntary. We lobbied on behalf of producers to keep the own use provision in on generic Ivomec. We chair the PCAP which has helped keep Sask. environmental community pro cows. They look at cows as a conservation tool rather then the problem like many other areas. PCAP also has a great education program called ECO-X that promotes sustainable use of range lands and the OWLS and COWS TOUR . They have presented these programs to thousands of kids in the prairie regions . On their second time around for some schools. We deal with water shed issues with SWA we partner to bring Cow Calf Schools , Grazing and grass programs .Native Prairie Appreciation Week every June.
Back in the 1970's the SSGA started and ran the Commercial cattle show and sale at the Agribition. World Class show now.
We do give out the Rangeland Scholarship and partner on the TESA award. Do you want me to keep going?
You get all this for a $100 membership. Sad thing is even if you don't join you still get the benefit of all the hard work the Directors and members do on your behalf.
