Farm Cash Receipts Up in 2015

Saskatchewan farmers saw strong gains in crop receipts for the first quarter of 2016.
 
Stats Canada reports show Saskatchewan’s numbers jumped 18.6% over the same period last year, mainly due to the strong demand for pulse crops.
 
According to the report Lentils contributed the most to the gain in crop receipts.
