Celebrate Saskatchewan Agriculture in October

The Government of Saskatchewan has once again proclaimed October as Agriculture Month in Saskatchewan. Agriculture Month is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of the agriculture industry and the dedicated farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses who produce the high quality, sustainable food in our province.

"The agriculture industry is a cornerstone of our province," Agriculture Minister David Marit said. "You can't celebrate this amazing industry without acknowledging the people who make the industry great. Through a combination of experience and cutting-edge technology, Saskatchewan producers and agri-businesses are building and protecting the agriculture sector in the province for generations to come, which is certainly worth celebrating."
