Producers are being called on to come out next week and talk about the impact of the drought and what kind of programming is needed.
Currently over 20 RM's in the province have declared "States of Emergency" due to the drought.
That number is expected to increase as temperatures are forecast to hit 30 degrees in most areas of the province today and will continue through next week.
Agronomists note with the lack of rain in many areas and that kind of heat for an extended period, we can expect to see further deterioration of crops, pastures, and dugouts.
Two of the worst hit areas by the drought have been in parts of the southwest and west central region with some areas around Saskatoon now reporting damage.
This week's crop report shows cropland topsoil moisture in the southwest is six per cent adequate, 49 per cent short and 45 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land is reportedly very similar; four per cent has adequate moisture, 48 per cent is short and 48 per cent is very short.
While topsoil moisture conditions in the west-central region remain relatively unchanged with 16 per cent of cropland showing adequate moisture, 55 per cent is short and 28 per cent is very short. Eight per cent of hay and pasture land has adequate moisture, 43 per cent is short and 49 per cent is very short.
Crop damage this past week was mostly due to dry conditions and grasshoppers and there are also a few reports of disease.
Grant McLellan the CEO of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen's Association says they've been hearing concerns from producers about the damage and challenges they face.
He says as a result they wanted to hold the meetings to get a better perspective on what's happening but more so on what's needed.
All producers are encouraged to attend the meetings which are set for Perdue on Monday, and Kindersley on Tuesday.
"Really the agenda is singular in focus. It's about what programs are available right now for producers to access. To answer any questions they may have about those programs, but also to hear from producers about what kinds of things they think they need in terms of government support and other programs and what SCA can do to facilitate that."
He notes in attendance they'll have a number of directors, as well as government representatives.
"We'll have Saskatchewan Crop Insurance staff there, as well as Ministry of Agriculture staff. We've also extended the invitation to a number of elected officials. But for sure what we really want to see is our grain producers and our livestock producers to come out so that we can really hear from them and try and see what we can do to work on getting through this situation together."
Next week's meetings run from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm .. Monday's meeting in Perdue is at the Rec Complex, Tuesday's meeting in Kindersley is at the Canalta Inn.
