Alberta Beef Producers has created a road map for accessing compensation programs for carnivore, ungulate, and bird damage to livestock and crops.
The system can be “rather convoluted” as there is one process for hay and crop damage, and another for predator damage (but not for coyotes), shot livestock and waterfowl damage prevention. As well, Alberta Financial Services Corporation, the provincial Fish & Wildlife branch, and Alberta Conservation Association handle different parts of the process.
For a guide to the process, go to albertabeef.org for the March 6 edition of Grass Routes.
