October Is Agriculture Month In Saskatchewan
Released on September 25, 2020
The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed October as
Agriculture Month in Saskatchewan. Agriculture Month is an opportunity to
recognize the contributions of the agriculture industry to our province and to
increase consumer understanding of and trust in modern food production.
Everyone is encouraged to celebrate by exploring their connection to food and
food production through the theme, “#CelebrateAg.”
“We recognize the hard work and dedication of Saskatchewan producers,”
Agriculture Minister David Marit said. “Saskatchewan producers are known
worldwide for their ability to produce high-quality, safe food and this month
we celebrate their contributions to our province.”
Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan is once again collaborating
with Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan and industry partners throughout
Agriculture Month to share food stories and encourage the public to learn about
modern agriculture.
“We are fortunate to live in a province that’s rich in a food and farming
culture,” Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan Executive Director Clinton Monchuk
said. “Each year, we’re excited to celebrate everything agriculture
during the month of October.”
