In an increasingly complex and global marketplace, farm managers must be able to access the information, resources and tools to continue to develop their farm business management skills to compete and succeed.

The Excellence Conference is different from other agricultural events in that it:

  • focuses specifically on addressing key farm business management principles using a systematic approach to business management
  • welcomes farmers across regions and production sectors to exchange and gain insight into beneficial management practices
  • welcomes diverse stakeholders, providing learning to those who are positioned to provide services to farmers (government, advisors, academia, organizations, etc.)

The conference will be a 3-day learning event via plenary, concurrent sessions, discussion panels, debate, and a farm/industry tour. The event will provide an opportunity for sharing insights, transferring knowledge and networking among the delegates. Delegates are expected to come from farms, agricultural businesses, government, industry associations, and private industry (i.e. banks, suppliers, etc.).

Farmers receive less of the food dollar: study

Farmers continue to receive less of the food dollar, even as consumers pay more for their groceries, says the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan. Its latest Farmers and Food Prices Report indicates the trend has not changed much since the organization began analyzing six products in 2021-22. “Our data continues to show a consistent story,” said president Bill Prybylski. “Food prices are rising, but the farmer’s share is actually shrinking.” The report, which was released in June for 2024-25, actually showed a little bump in the farmer share of two products:retail pork and canola oil. “I was a little surprised that some of the numbers have actually reversed, but when you think about it, I guess it makes sense that canola prices have rebounded a little bit compared to where they were,” Prybylski said. APAS tracks the farmer share of several food products by comparing the retail price with the producer price for the initial commodity. These include a 675-gram load of
