Said results would be used to then better inform both lawmakers and the public on how producers are growing food in the province.

Judson Christopherson, a graduate student with the College of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan, details just what they're looking for.

"Producers will be asked to detail things such as chemical and fertilizer use, their crop types, seed varieties, and yields, amongst many other practices and metrics. Survey participants will report one parcel of land in two time periods. The first time period being 1991-1994, while the second is 2016-2019."
