Agriculture Roundup for Wednesday, March 23, 2023

United Farmers of Alberta (UFA) said it will be expanding once again in Saskatchewan.

The two new locations are Dunmore and Saskatoon.

UFA also announced it has opened its doors in Weyburn and Yorkton. The sites are part of the expansion of UFA’s petroleum business in central and eastern Saskatchewan.

UFA also announced a historic patronage dividend of $28 million back to its membership. This marks the sixth consecutive year of increased patronage and a 56 per cent increase over last year.

The year 2015 was just before a national election – which have major influences on policy paths, administration goals, and how farmers feel about their future.
