Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan

Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) is Saskatchewan's democratically elected, non-partisan farm policy and advocacy organization.

APAS is Saskatchewan’s only non-partisan, democratically elected agricultural policy and advocacy organization. We create solutions to the challenges on Saskatchewan farms, and then take these solutions to the provincial and federal government to help them make better decisions. APAS represents farmers and ranchers in 137 rural municipalities across the province. We offer members a powerful, respected voice straight to government decision makers. With each new participating RM, our voice becomes stronger! Policy change often takes years of strategic communication, and APAS plays the long game on behalf of Saskatchewan's agricultural producers. We focus on building strong, respectful relationships with decision makers (regardless of their political stripes) and offer them practical solutions backed up by expert research.

While Saskatchewan producers were busy seeding, spraying, haying, and preparing for harvest, APAS has been focused on the issues shaping the future of Saskatchewan agriculture.

This season APAS has been hard at work on:
✅ Representing producers during discussions on Canada’s Next Agricultural Policy Framework
✅ Prepared submissions on proposed surface rights legislation
✅ Advocated for reliable transportation and supply chains
✅ Released the 2026 Farmers and Food Prices Report
✅ Launched the largest research project in APAS history examining farmland ownership in Saskatchewan
✅ Continued work on producer priorities including competitiveness, market opportunities, and agricultural policy

Because when decisions affecting Saskatchewan agriculture are being made, producers need a voice focused on their farms.

Strong competition helps create better opportunities for farmers.

Whether it's transportation, grain handling, market access, or farm inputs, competitive markets support innovation, choice, and profitability across the agricultural sector.

Harvest season is underway, which means more combines, tractors, and grain trucks on grid roads and highways across Saskatchewan. 🚛🚜

If you’re driving in rural areas:
🟡 Slow down when approaching large farm equipment
🟡 Only pass when it is completely safe and clear to do so
🟡 Remember that operators have limited visibility

Let's keep our roads safe for everyone this season!
