Agriview Spring 2026

Welcome to the Spring 2026 issue of Agriview.


Minister David Marit

Minister's Message

Spring is here and farmers across Saskatchewan are gearing up for one of the busiest stretches of the year: seeding. Months of preparation all come down to a tight window, and we know how much depends on those few crucial weeks. It’s a demanding time, and every day counts as you set the foundation for the growing season ahead.

Our government remains committed to supporting Saskatchewan producers and helping lay the groundwork for a strong year ahead. In January, our Premier traveled to China with the Prime Minister where they reached a preliminary Agreement-in-Principle to significantly reduce tariffs on Canadian canola and other agricultural products. As of March 1, China has lowered tariffs on Canadian canola seed to 14.9 per cent per cent, and canola meal and peas are no longer subject to tariffs. We will continue to work with our federal counterparts to strengthen relations with all of our trading partners, including further work with key markets like China and India.

In February, I announced continued funding for the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) 2026 Crop Insurance Program. This year marks 65 years of SCIC supporting Saskatchewan farmers and ranchers with reliable business risk management programs, including the recently introduced Satellite Forage Insurance, which provides a more localized and accurate approach to managing forage risk.

We remain committed to supporting producers throughout the growing season with programs and services such as the Resilient Agricultural Landscapes Program, the Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program, local agriculture extension events and the Farm Stress Line.

We continue to offer extension services for producers through our team of agronomic specialists in 10 regional offices across the province, including the Agriculture Knowledge Centre. If you are looking for agronomic advice, program information or pathfinding support on topics such as water quality testing for livestock or pasture health, please contact the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1‑866‑457‑2377.

Best wishes for a successful 2026 spring season.

Honourable David Marit
Minister of Agriculture
