Saskatchewan’s barley levy became mandatory August 1, 2013.
The levy is $1.06 per net tonne.
Note: Always check your grain tickets to ensure that the appropriate levy has been assessed. Barley levy is based on the province in which the crop is grown and not on the farm or business address.
With Your Investment
SaskBarley is able to invest levy dollars in issues that directly impact Saskatchewan producers. We encourage you to review our Strategic Plan and the work we accomplish on your behalf.
