Ministry Extension: Agronomic advice at your fingertips

The ministry’s team of agronomic experts are constantly learning, staying updated on industry trends to offer the best advice and support to producers to keep Saskatchewan’s agriculture industry thriving. If you’re wondering where to look for agronomic updates from Saskatchewan Agriculture, you’re in the right place. While we practice physical distancing, we’ve compiled a list of resources to ensure you stay up to date with information from our team.

Events and webinars

Our regional extension specialists work year-round to offer producers the latest agronomic information, advice and research results. From consultations to events and webinars, our team of experts has you covered. While in-person events are on hold for now, we’re still offering many of our summer extension events remotely. This year, our summer agronomy session, Crop Diagnostic School, is being offered online, free of charge to clients.
