It’s Saskatchewan vs. Quebec for the CFL’s biggest prize

The Canadian Football League’s (CFL) championship game goes down at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg, Man., on Sunday as the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Montreal Alouettes compete for the 112^th Grey Cup.

Will Davis Alexander quarterback the Alouettes to the team’s second Grey Cup in three years? Or will Trevor Harris deliver Saskatchewan its first Grey Cup since 2013?

As has become a little bit of a custom, Farms.com will use available agriculture census and other available data to determine the winner of Sunday’s contest.

** Signals advantage for each team

	Saskatchewan Roughriders	Montreal Alouettes

Number of farms	34,128 **	29,380
Total farm area	60,265,339 acres **	7,770,428 acres
Number of farm operators	44,140 **	42,265
Top ag export (2023)	Non-durum wheat ($3.8 billion) **	Maple products ($599.5 million)
Average farmer age	55.8	54 **
Total ag exports (2024)	$18.5 billion **	$11.9 billion

Based on the available metrics Saskatchewan is the clear frontrunner for Sunday’s Grey Cup.

But with Quebec having a slight youth advantage, it could be anyone’s game!

Agriculture is well represented during Grey Cup festivities.

Access Credit Union, Wawanesa, MacDon, and Ag Growth International are part of the Grey Cup Tour, which made 40 stops across Manitoba.

And Rosie the Red Potato, the mascot for Peak of the Market, a Manitoba vegetable supplier, appeared at the Grey Cup Family Fun Zone event.

Ontario’s flower sector is blooming ??

With more than $1 billion in farmgate sales and over $650 million in annual exports—much of it centred in the Niagara region—Ontario growers are a major force in Canada’s floriculture industry. In fact, the province produces roughly 50% of all flowers grown in the country, serving a market of over 100 million consumers within a one-day drive.

It’s a powerful example of how strategic location, cross-border access, and strong production capacity come together to support both local agriculture and global markets ??
