The Saskatchewan Stock Growers covered a lot of ground during their Annual Convention and AGM this week. 

They wrapped up the event in Swift Current yesterday by passing 12 resolutions. 

Resolutions dealt with a variety of issues from funding for the study of Johne's Disease in multi grazing species to a request for the Province to amend the Trespass to Property Act to implement a mandatory permission requirement.

After last year's wildfires in the southwest, there was a resolution calling on SARM to encourage neighbouring RM's to work together to collaborate on purchasing fire-fighting equipment. 

With the spread of wild pigs in the province, there was a resolution for the Stock Growers to lobby the Province to develop a comprehensive wild pig eradication plan. 

One resolution called for the organization to lobby the Federal Government to invest a significant portion of the $1 Billion Nature Fund into conservation programming with private landowners that do not involve the purchase of privately managed land or conservation easements in perpetuity. 

Another resolution called for the group to lobby the Federal Government to expedite the ratification of the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership to ensure Canada is one of the first six countries to ratify the CPTPP. 

The proposed agreement will provide Canadian exporters with new preferential market access to important markets in the Asia Pacific Rim including Japan.
