Agriculture Roundup for Wednesday May 13, 2020
It is still up in the air if there will be any research going on at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada site south of Melfort this summer.
An email from the federal communications department stated there are currently two staff members on site at the Melfort Research Farm maintaining established forage trials. All other staff were sent home.
As discussions continue, no decision has been made yet with regards to field research projects and no timeline was given when a final decision will be made.
Several commodity groups, including SaskCanola, expressed concern last month the federal government was contemplating the suspension of all field plot research for the summer of 2020.
