Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan Invest in Crop Research

Canada's Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Lawrence MacAulay and Saskatchewan's Minister of Agriculture Daryl Harrison today announced a total of $9.4 million in funding for crop-related research, in addition to $5.4 million in co-funding from industry partners for a combined total of $14.8 million in 2025.

Invested through Saskatchewan's Agriculture Development Fund (ADF) under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), the commitment supports a total of 53 approved research projects on a variety of topics that will help advance the industry. This investment is part of Saskatchewan's 2024-25 budget of $37 million for agriculture research.

"By investing in research, we're investing in the future of the country's agriculture industry," MacAulay said. "This funding will provide research organizations the dollars they need to investigate solutions to production issues and to develop new opportunities for our crops sector, which in turn helps farmers compete globally and boost their bottom lines."

"Investments in research are foundational to the sector," Harrison said. "Over the last five years, we have invested almost $50 million into crop-related research through the ADF. That's the kind of support that helps our producers stay competitive and profitable in international markets, and helps Saskatchewan to keep setting the bar higher for sustainable practices and innovation in agriculture."
