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.

Lyrics:

My days begin with workin’, Alarm’s at 5 o’clock,
I Fill 5 gallon buckets, The feeders and the troughs,
This five to nine ain’t workin’, why the heck do I work so hard?,
I can’t worry ‘bout health problems, I can sleep in when I’m gone,

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

I’ve been working pretty stressed but,
I ain’t changing for some cash,
Lord knows that I’m very blessed (More chores),
But I gotta say it’s hard,
Workin’ outside gettin’ charred,
Living out here on the farm, (more chores)

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history
There’s another 20 chickens that still need feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm getting’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Fun, here on ranch that’s what you can’t ignore,
Might be pretty hard but I love it to its core,
Flannel’s gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores (Tell ‘em sing with me)

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
Watching cattle in the dark, don’t miss me,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
(Yeeeeeehaw)
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
It’s the best bro, go get yourself a farm
