Abstract

The Prairie Pothole Region is a very important region for wetland wildlife habitat. A farm level simulation model based on a representative Saskatchewan grain farm was developed and used to estimate the incremental impact of Canadian government’s agricultural farm risk management support programs on future wetland loss. The model suggests that farm income support programs could lead to additional losses of wetlands over the next 20 years. Canadian policy makers need to evaluate negative environmental outcomes during farm income program development and implementation.
