The list of Saskatchewan rural municipalities in which cattle producers will be eligible for disaster assistance is growing.

As of May 4, producers in the RMs of Antler, Argyle, Browning, Coalfields, Enniskillen, Golden West, Happy Valley, Kingsley, Moose Creek, Moose Mountain, Moosomin, Mount Pleasant and Silverwood are all eligible to apply through the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program.

PDAP will pay market value of lost calves due to the recent heavy snow storms in the southeast. Producers must have some evidence of loss and cannot have insured their cattle.
