About

In 2013, The Government of Saskatchewan launched the Saskatchewan wheat industry into a new era.

Producers needed an organization that could advocate for change and help pave the way for the future of Saskatchewan wheat. This involves guiding cutting-edge research and initiatives, advocating for producers’ best interests and more. Sask Wheat was created to fulfill those needs.

Now

Now, we support Saskatchewan wheat producers by funding research and initiatives that keep wheat sustainable and profitable for future generations.

Whether we’re advising government agencies on policy or sharing knowledge with producers province-wide, we have one goal: to put the future of Saskatchewan’s wheat industry in your hands and push forward, together.

Impact

The producer check-off directly contributes to research that is actively transforming the wheat industry, one project at a time.

Your levy payment is an investment in the future of your industry. Every goal we accomplish, we accomplish together.

Sask Wheat funds scholarships, advocates for better policy and lays foundations for change at every level of Saskatchewan’s wheat industry.
