The Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (SaskWheat) has a lot going on this month and next month.
Wednesday and Thursday, an agronomy research update will be held at TCU Place in Saskatoon, featuring various presentations from the Ministry of Agriculture, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the University of Saskatchewan, and more.
Next month is the Saskatchewan Crops Forum, happening January 13 and 14 from the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon. SaskWheat, Sask Oilseeds, SaskBarley, and Saskatchewan Pulse Growers will hold their Annual General Meetings and have industry speakers will address attendees over two days.
Producers have to register in advance of the agronomy research update and the Crops Forum. That information can be found on the SaskWheat website.
Also next month is an event called Coffee Shop Talks, happening in Yorkton on January 22.
Communications and Events Coordinator Montana Getty-Hilash describes it as a "laid back" type of event - bringing in experts from the ag industry to answer any questions producers may have.
"We kind of refer to it as basically speed-dating for farmers," Getty-Hilash said. "The producers get sit at a table (of 8-12 people), it's very laid back, they sit down and chat with an expert and the expert switches tables, so everyone gets to talk to every single expert one-on-one at their table."
