Premier Moe meets with Indian Minister to discuss trade issues

Nov 14, 2025

Saskatchewan's premier attended the G7 Foreign Ministers' meeting in Ontario this week, where he met with India's Minister of External Affairs.

Scott Moe says the bilateral meeting focused on steps to remove tariffs on yellow peas and areas of mutual interest, including potash, uranium, and agri-food products.

He says the province will keep engaging at the highest levels of the Indian government to promote Saskatchewan and Canada as a secure and sustainable source of pulse crops and other food products.

According to a news release, since 2020, the Saskatchewan-India trade and investment office has been supporting the province's engagement across India.

Last February, the province led a mission to India to attend the Pulses Conclave, and helped Saskatchewan-based companies connect with prospective Indian partners and investors.

Video: Dr. Emerson Nafziger: Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates for Corn

The Crop Science Podcast Show, Dr. Emerson Nafziger from the University of Illinois breaks down decades of nitrogen research. From the evolution of N rate guidelines to how soil health and hybrid genetics influence nitrogen use efficiency, this conversation unpacks the science behind smarter fertilization. Improving how we set nitrogen fertilizer rates for rainfed corn is a key focus. Discover why the MRTN model matters more than ever, and how shifting mindsets and better data can boost yields and environmental outcomes. Tune in now on all major platforms!

"The nitrogen that comes from soil mineralization is the first nitrogen the plant sees, and its role is underestimated."

Meet the guest:

Dr. Emerson Nafziger is Professor Emeritus of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with degrees in agronomy from Ohio State, Purdue, and Illinois. His research has focused on nitrogen rate strategies and crop productivity. He co-developed the Maximum Return to Nitrogen (MRTN) model, which is widely used across the Midwest. His research spans N response trials, hybrid interactions, crop rotation effects, and yield stability.
