Sask Irrigation Conference Now Open

Dec 08, 2016

The Saskatchewan Irrigation Conference opened yesterday in Moose Jaw.

Joel Vanderschaaf is the Chair of the Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association.

He says generally we see about 300 thousand acres being irrigated in the Province.

"The irrigation industry in Saskatchewan is in a good spot right now. We've been growing a little bit within the districts that we have.

This seems to be a decent uptake from some of the farmers, and the programs and infrastructure for them - it's been great," he said.

The SIPA President explains the importance of these meetings for growers.

"The two pieces of legislation that really pertain to the irrigation industry in Saskatchewan. They're going to be looking at amending some of those acts.

It's an important time for growers to come out and have their voice heard, and to learn what is on the horizon in terms of that," he said.

Video: Dream Projects Made Real | BX Summer Contest Winner Stories

Three women. Three properties. Three summers that changed everything.

Meet the 2025 Kubota BX Summer Contest winners — and watch what happened when their biggest plans finally had the power to match them.

Akesh transformed her 9.8-acre property in just 3 months — clearing a historic barn, building a cottage garden, and growing vegetable beds for her family. Kathleen rebuilt her yard from the ground up after the 2023 wildfires devastated her property — creating a space where her children could play and grow again. Teresa reclaimed her family's 97-acre Ontario farm — moving topsoil, restoring fields, and honouring her mother's memory one season at a time.

Three dream projects. Three stories of vision, resilience, and hard work. One unforgettable summer with a Kubota BX.

"The BX made everything happen so quick." — Akesh "I feel like I can make a huge difference." — Kathleen "It's a dream come true. The answer to my prayers." — Teresa
