Listen: Saskatchewan’s most expensive crop was produced in 2022

The costs associated with growing a crop and raising livestock hit an all-time high last year.

Statistics Canada said farmers spent roughly $11.5 billion on expenses, 11 per cent higher than in 2020, and the largest year-over-year increase since 2012.

Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan President Ian Boxall calls it the most expensive year ever for farmers.

Alice McFarlane is the Agriculture Information Director for Pattison Media in Saskatchewan.
