Saskatchewan Pulse Growers (SPG) is seeking recipient nominations for the Pulse Promoter of the Year Award.
The Pulse Promoter Award is awarded to an individual who has made a significant contribution to the Saskatchewan pulse industry.
Tim Wiens, Chair of SPG's Board of Directors, says the award is to recognize someone who has helped take the pulse industry to exciting new levels through their contributions in production, research, or business innovation.
The award has been given out since 1994. Last years recipient was Ed Seidle from Medstead, who was recognized for his work in the area of production, and the year before that, Dr. Tom Warkentin from the Crop Development Centre received the award for his work in plant breeding.
Also, the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) reminds producers September 30th is the deadline for submitting 2014 AgriStability program forms.
Submitting program forms is part of the annual process for participating in AgriStability, and the information provided determines whether the producer qualifies for a benefit payment.
Submitting the forms and providing the information also builds the farm's program history.
By keeping the financial profile of the farm current, producer's individual reference margins are established and available to provide coverage should something unforeseen happen causing the farm to draw on the resources of the AgriStability program.
