“The outcome of our outreach was very informative with no evidence of foreign ownership reported,” Farm Land Ownership Advisory Committee Chairperson Ken McDonald said. “We feel this legislative review will help ensure the province’s farm land stays in the hands of Canadian farmers and that there will be a positive path forward for the next generation.”

“We appreciate the government’s efforts to continue to bring transparency around farm land ownership in Saskatchewan,” Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association President Jeff Yorga said. “Producers want a level playing field, and the upcoming consultations are a great first step to ensuring that. We look forward to working with all stakeholders to make sure producer voices are heard.”

“Protecting ownership of Saskatchewan’s pasture and hayland is of critical importance to our beef cattle producers and there are no better caretakers of Saskatchewan’s grassland and farmland than ranchers and farmers,” Saskatchewan Cattle Association Chair Chad Ross said. “The Saskatchewan Cattle Association supports the work of the Farmland Advisory Committee and the provincial government’s plans to undertake a comprehensive review of The Saskatchewan Farm Security Act and looks forward to actively participating in consultations going forward.”

“The Saskatchewan Farm Security Act is an important provincial statute designed to protect, support, and provide security for Saskatchewan family farms,” Wheat Growers Association Chair Darryl Fransoo said. “Today’s announcement shows the continued support our government continues to provide, ensuring a prosperous future for farmers facing more challenges than ever before.”

“Our farmland is one of Saskatchewan’s greatest assets, and it’s important that the rules around who can own and use it keep pace with the realities of farming today,” Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities President Bill Huber said. “This review is a good chance to make sure the Act continues to protect family farms and support the future of our rural communities.”

Saskatchewan farm land is one of the province’s most valuable assets. As the nature of farming and business continues to evolve, the Government of Saskatchewan wants to ensure the legislative framework regarding farm land ownership meets the needs of the people of Saskatchewan.
