2021 Western Canadian Crop Production Show Sidelined

Prairieland Park has cancelled the 2021 Western Canadian Crop Production Show.
 
Lori Cates, Manager of Agriculture for Saskatoon Prairieland Park Corporation, says the  decision has been made in consultation with the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Health Authority and is in light of the growing number of COVID-19 cases throughout the province.
 
For 37 years Prairieland Park has welcomed producers from across the prairies to Saskatoon, to see the latest in farm equipment and technology. The event was held every January.
 
Cates says the focus is on the safety and health of their staff, event patrons and the exhibitors and sponsors that attend the show.
 
She notes they are committed to supporting agriculture in Saskatchewan and look forward to the 2022 Western Canadian Crop Production Show.
