2020: Record Year For Agricultural Exports In Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan produced $16.9 billion in agricultural exports last year, a 31 per cent increase over 2019 and a new high for the province.
 
Canola seed, non-durum wheat, lentils, canola oil and durum wheat remain Saskatchewans leading agriculture exports with our top international markets
being the United States, China, Japan and India.
 
Saskatchewan agri-food export destinations in 2020 were listed as the United States, China, Japan, India and Mexico.
 
Agriculture Minister David Marit says Saskatchewan producers grow safe, high-quality food that the world needs and our agriculture exporters remain committed to providing the world with these products.
 
Increases in primary production as well as a growing value-added sector have contributed to the record agri-food export growth in Saskatchewan.
 
In 2020, the Province's value-added exports totalled $3.2 billion and included canola oil, canola meal and processed oats.
 
The Province is currently working on opening new trade offices in Singapore, Japan and India in 2021 aas a means of increasing export diversification.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
