Nearly $10 million allocated to crop research

Crop research is receiving a total of $9.7 million in funding from the federal and provincial governments. Of the $9.7 million, $7.2 million is through the Agriculture Development Fund (ADF) to support 39 research projects and $2.5 million through the Strategic Research Initiative (SRI) to study the long-term management of herbicide resistant kochia and wild oats. Provincial Agriculture Minister David Marit was at the Western Development Museum, where the Sask Crops Forum is being held, to make the announcement Tuesday morning. "First and foremost, I really got to thank the ADF board, the committee.

Farm-to-table advocate Joe Kleinsasser headlines the 2026 Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame class, recognized for more than two decades of consumer education and leadership in agriculture. Six inductees were announced Tuesday, Jan. 13, during the 48th Western Canada Production Show at the NuFarm Information Theatre in Hall B of Prairieland Park.

He said he felt honoured to be included in the provincial Ag Hall of Fame. Other 2026 inductees are Cecil Werner, Terry Baker, Norbert Beaujot, Mary McKay Lindsay and Mark Picard. Lindsay and Picard are inducted posthumously. Kleinsasser served for seven years on the Sask Pork board beginning in 2002 and was also SPI Marketing Group’s director from 1999 to 20
