Agricultural Products Top The List For Saskatchewan Exports

Sep 10, 2020

Stats for July show Saskatchewan's exports totalled over $2.5 billion dollars, up 9%

from last year.

Agriculture and Food exports were up 55% over last year

Stats show that wheat exports led the way from January to July, followed by oilseeds (except soybean), dry pea and bean, other grains and soybeans.

Everett Hindley, the Province's Legislative Secretary for Trade and Export Development says

we have what the world needs.

"More so now than ever. We've talked about whether its fuel production out of this province in the

oil and gas sector and uranium or it's the food that we provide through ag exports or things like potash

as well, fertilizer. Saskatchewan truly has what the world needs."

The United States heads the list of the top countries we exported to for January to July followed by China,

Japan, Mexico and Bangladesh.

Hindley says overall the numbers show that Saskatchewan is well positioned to pull out of this pandemic

in a better position than many other jurisdictions.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
