Sask Wheat Hosting Fall Election for Board Positions

Sep 13, 2021

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.

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
