The Roughriders bested the Alouettes in the 112th Grey Cup

Members of Canada’s ag community are congratulating the Saskatchewan Roughriders on bringing the Grey Cup back to the Prairies.

“Congratulations to the (Roughriders) on a big and well deserved win!” the Wheat Growers Association said on X. “Props to the @MTLAlouettes for a hard fought game!”

The Roughriders defeated the Alouettes 25-17 on Nov. 16 in the Canadian Football League’s championship game to capture the franchise’s fifth Grey Cup championship and the first since 2013.

On Agriville.com, farmers chimed in with their thoughts on the game in a thread titled “Wheat Province wins the Grey Cup.”

“It’s nice to see my home province win the Grey Cup. It’s been a while,” a user known as farmaholic said. “A well coached good team. They had a decent season’s record but I never thought it would ever be a gimme.”

One of the team’s main sponsors – which also has ties to ag – congratulated the Riders.

The Roughriders play at Mosaic Stadium, named after The Mosaic Company.

“Mosaic is proud to stand with you – on and off the field – celebrating this historic win and our shared commitment to #Saskatchewan,” the company said on X on Nov. 17.

Now that the game is over, it’s time for the Roughriders to celebrate with their fans.

Here are the details of the team’s championship parade:

Meet Willy: California Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farm Dog of the Year!

We’re excited to introduce Willy, a miniature long-haired dachshund with a big heart and even bigger courage, and the Grand Prize winner of this year’s Farm Dog of the Year Contest!

Willy may be small, but he’s become an indispensable partner on owner Marshal Hagedorn’s forestry and cattle operations in Shasta, Tehama, and Siskiyou counties. Adopted in 2023, he quickly found his place on the ranch, helping manage critters, tagging along for long days in the woods, and offering unwavering companionship during demanding logging work.

Willy has even taken naturally to moving cattle, surprising calves (and more than a few full-grown cows!) with his burst of energy from the tall grass. As Marshal put it: “He goes with me everywhere every single day.”

Congratulations to Willy and his family, a perfect example of how every good farm dog, no matter the size, helps keep California agriculture running strong.
