Government Provides Support to Crown Land Grazing Lessees
Released on August 27, 2025
The Ministry of Agriculture today announced it is offering the Crown Grazing Lease Rental Reduction Program for the 2025 grazing season.
"Saskatchewan's livestock producers continue to face challenges with grazing due to consecutive years of dry conditions," Agriculture Minister Daryl Harrison said. "The province is committed to supporting our livestock producers through these challenges."
Through this program, Crown grazing land lessees who have reduced the number of animals grazing on the land are eligible to apply for a rent reduction for the 2025 grazing season. The lessee must reduce the number of animals grazing by 20 per cent or more, compared to the approved carrying capacity of the land, due to ongoing dry conditions. The deadline for applications is October 31, 2025.
