Ian Cushon’s recent purchase of an aerial lift aligns with the objectives of Canadian Agricultural Safety Week.

The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed March 14-20 as Agricultural Safety Week in the province.

Grade 7 students Cooper Schaeffer and Payton Cobb paired up for their Heritage Fair project, The Evolution of Combines, at the Kipling School. The Observer sat down with them to talk about their project.

Twelve-year-old Payton White is quite the helper on the farm at home. That’s why he chose to do his Genius Hour project on beef cattle. It’s what he knows. He named his project Beef on a Bun.

March has been proclaimed as Agriculture Literacy Month in Saskatchewan. Agriculture Literacy Month allows students across the province to participate in conversations and activities to help them learn about the agriculture industry.

Although it is quite common for farming operations to be carried on by the next generation, it does not always happen exactly as planned.
