Four producers acclaimed to the Sask Wheat Board of Directors

The Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat) will welcome one new and three incumbent directors to its board following a summer-long nomination period.
 
First-time director Cameron Reich will join returning directors Lesley Kelly, Jocelyn Velestuk, and Glenn Tait on the Sask Wheat Board of Directors. Each director will serve a four-year term, with Kelly, Velestuk, and Tait continuing into their second consecutive terms. The terms of the four directors will begin on Jan. 9, 2024, following the Sask Wheat Annual General Meeting. 
 
Reich farms east of Craik, where he is the fourth generation to produce grain on his family’s grain farm, and is a part-time adjuster for the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation. He has previous experience working for a grain terminal in Davidson, along with experience working for an agricultural technology business that operates throughout Western Canada.
