Crop Reporters

Crop Reporters are a mix of producers, agrologists, and anyone else involved or interested in agriculture; they are the eyes and ears of what is happening in the farming community. There are currently over 200 volunteers throughout the province with many having contributed information for well over 40 years. Saskatchewan Agriculture greatly appreciates the commitment these volunteers have shown to the Crop Report.

Crop Reporter Commitment

Each week during the growing season, Crop Reporters spend five to 10 minutes filling out a survey. The majority of questions are based on conditions in their RM or surrounding area. Many reporters talk with their neighbours and clients to learn what is happening locally and they base their responses on their immediate area.

Questions provide the ministry with information on rainfall, topsoil moisture conditions, seeding progress, crop development, crop damage, harvest progress and crop yields, as well as haying progress and yields, livestock feed supplies and pasture conditions. Weather-related damage and conditions are also frequently surveyed.

There are several options available for reporting. Many reporters will call the Agriculture Knowledge Centre in Moose Jaw and talk to a live person while others will email information or report online using weekly customized email or text links.

Crop Report Audience

The Crop Report is Saskatchewan Agriculture's most popular publication. Since Saskatchewan is a major producer and exporter of crops, the progress of Saskatchewan's crop is followed closely around the world. The information is used by producers, agrologists, policy-makers, media, marketers, investors and others interested or involved in the agricultural industry.

There are many RMs that need a Crop Reporter. Volunteers are always welcome to join the Crop Reporting Service even if their RM currently has a volunteer Crop Reporter. The more data collected, the better the Crop Report will be.
