SaskCanola continues to ensure that canola growers have the tools they need to sustainably and responsibly grow their crops.

The Saskatchewan Crop Commissions welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) on the Sustainable Agriculture Strategy (SAS) discussion document.

SaskCanola will continue to work with Minister Marit’s office and the federal government through CCGA to development new business risk management programming that will serve farmers effectively in the next agriculture policy framework.

As a result of the feedback they received, the CRSC is determining next steps for a Code that reflects farmers’ concerns. SaskCanola is participating in this re-evaluation and will keep farmers interests front and center in these ongoing discussions.

SaskCanola will work with the provincial and federal governments to make contracts more fair to producers; and will support efforts to inform producers of their rights and responsibilities with regards to grain contracts.
