Slough drainage turns barren land into profitable hay yield
Three Saskatchewan farmers northeast of Yorkton built a 7700 foot drainage and dyke system with backflood control to flood irrigate slough land. Federal PFRA aid plus modest farmer costs produced 300 tons of hay worth about 6000 dollars this season, encouraging expansion or sale of hay and possible livestock increases.
