Information

Sound management of pastureland keeps forage stands healthy and vigorous. It also helps with weed control, while at the same time, maintains productive waterfowl habitat. As a unique opportunity for local producers, DUC makes land available for haying and/or grazing with annual tenders. Each June, DUC releases its list of parcels being managed and details on the tender process.
Ducks Unlimited CanadaDucks Unlimited Canada - Virtual BoothWelcome to our Virtual Booth!  Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) has been active in the agriculture industry since the 1990s, and has been supporting the implementation of sustainable farming practices of benefit to Saskatchewan producers. Our programs have been continually adapted over the years in response to landowner goals and realities. DUC provides agronomic and financial support to Saskatchewan producers looking to enhance profitability and resilience of their operations. Here’s how: Through partnership with Nutrien Ag Solutions, DUC’s Forage Conversion Program provides financial assistance to producers looking to seed eligible areas to pasture or hay. DUC’s new Marginal Areas Program helps producers address salinity, moisture and club root issues, providing a financial incentive to convert marginal lands to forage. DUC supports local livestock producers by providing access to one third to one half of our quarters annually for grazing and hay through its Hay Tender Program. DUC provides agronomic support for winter wheat growers across the Canadian Prairies through the Western Winter Wheat Initiative, as well as financial support for variety development at the Lethbridge Agriculture and AgriFood Canada Research station. DUC operates the Touchwood Hills Conservation Ranch, a working 6500-acre ranch used to demonstrate management practices that are both economically and environmentally sound.
