SaskCanola and SaskFlax have announced a new management collaboration

Jan 05, 2023

The two groups are now operating out of one office in Saskatoon.

The Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission and the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission have announced a new management collaboration.

The move will mean efficiencies for both crop commissions by providing a full staff complement to support both Boards.

SaskCanola and SaskFlax will maintain individual Boards of Directors and separate governance structures.

Greg Sundquist, Board Chair of SaskFlax says they are excited about the opportunities this arrangement brings to oilseed growers.

"Finding administrative and operational efficiencies within our industry ensures that growers’ levy dollars are put to the best use. Our commissions were created with similar mandates and key focus areas, research, extension and market development."

Charlene Bradley, Board Chair for SaskCanola says they recognize the importance of having a strong voice speaking on behalf of all Saskatchewan growers by successfully conveying a clear message.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
