The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan President Todd Lewis says they wanted to get candidates from all political parties thinking about how best to support Agriculture.
He says Agriculture is a real economic driver for the Province, and we need to see some key policy issues, like Business Risk Management programming, being addressed.
"How the parties see going forward with the review process that is currently underway and other positions on AgriStability and Crop Insurance and some of the changes that producer groups have asked for. As well as you know within the next mandate of the next provincial government they'll be a new negotiation on a new framework."
Lewis says we also need to see a program that works for farmers and those in the livestock industry, another key issue for rural voters focuses around the governments' investment in infrastructure.
"Cell and internet service has been a huge issue now with COVID. It's even affecting the ability of people to choose where they're going to live in rural Saskatchewan. We've even heard something as simple as being able to take your year of University classes there are young people that have had to leave their homes, leave their farms this year to move to places with better internet."
