Producers’ Survey: Richardson’s Ground Squirrel Impacts
Wednesday, August 20, 2025
The Agricultural Service Board Provincial Committee (ASBPC), at the request of MP John Barlow, has launched the 2025 Richardson’s Ground Squirrel (Gopher) Impact Survey to gather evidence on the severity of the current outbreak and the effectiveness of available control methods. This quick, 11-question survey allows farmers to share their experiences, provide comments, and upload photos of damage. The results will be compiled into a report and shared with Agricultural Service Boards, as well as provincial and federal ministers, to help advocate for timely action to support Prairie producers. We encourage all agricultural producers affected by gophers to participate and help ensure these impacts are heard. You can access the survey here or through the dedicated information page.
