Saskatchewan Agriculture Scholarship Deadline March 1st

Saskatchewan Agriculture is now taking applications for its Annual Agriculture Scholarship program.

 

The Ministry is offering one $4000 scholarship and three runner-up scholarships of $2,000

 

Nicole Lamers, the Ministry’s Public Trust Specialist, says students are invited to submit a creative three-minute video or a 1,000-word essay sharing their food story.

 

“We are looking for young people who plan to pursue an exciting career in the industry. What they'll need to do is submit their entry and provide a conditional acceptance letter to a post-secondary institution. If they don't have that quite yet that's alright because we can still accept the letters as late as April 1st.  They'll also need to provide a letter of recommendation from either a teacher or an industry leader in agriculture, or a community leader, talking about their history working in agriculture and being a leader and advocate in their studies."

Video: USDA Feb Crop Report a WIN for Soybeans + 1 Year Trade Truce Extension

USDA took Trumps comments that China would buy more U.S. soybeans seriously and headline news that the U.S./China trade truce would be extended when Trump/Xi meet in the first week of April was a BIG WIN for soybeans this week! 2026 “Mini” U.S. ethanol boom thanks to 45Z + China’s ban of phosphates from Feb. – August of 2026 will not help lower fertilizer prices anytime soon! 30 mmt of Chinese corn harvest is of poor quality and maybe a technical breakout in wheat futures.

*Apologies! Where we talk about the latest CFTC update as of 10th Feb 2026, managed money funds covered their net short position in canola to the tune of +42,746 week-on-week to flip to net long 145 contracts and not (as we mistakenly said) +90,009 wk/wk to 47,408.
