Sask Wheat Hosting Fall Election for Board Positions

Yesterday the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission announced they'll be holding an election beginning next month to fill four board of directors roles.

They're six candidates vying for the four seats in; Greg Brkich of Bladworth, Brett Halstead of Nokomis, Scott Hepworth of Assiniboia, Allen Kuhlmann of Vanguard, Jake Leguee of Weyburn, and Robert Stone of Davidson.

"I think that shows the interest in people wanting to serve as a director capacity and it's very exciting," Blair Goldade, the new Executive Director of Sask Wheat, said.

Ballots will be mailed out to registered wheat producers in October with the election opening on October 14 and closing on November 29 at 4 p.m.

The results from the election will be shared in early December and the four electees will assume their new roles on January 10, 2022, at Sask Wheat's Annual General Meeting.

Video: John Deere 500R Sprayer | Next-Generation Booms for Ultimate Precision


Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
