Keystone Agricultural Producers is encouraging members to come out their local district meeting being held November 13 - 17.
President Dan Mazier says they'll be using a different format this year.
"It's more of a round table discussion now," he explained. "We've modernized it a lot more. It's more helping out that grassroots type of thought process. District members get to tell us directly what's impacting their farms and it's a wide variance."
Mazier notes some of the key issues to be discussed include grain transportation, water management and the newly announced carbon tax.
