The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) has released a listing of 26 resolutions approved by voting members of APAS at the 2022 General Meeting. 

APAS hosts District meetings and Policy Committee meetings regularly throughout Saskatchewan in which APAS Representatives discuss issues surrounding the agricultural industry and local communities. Issues are often turned into resolutions that are then later discussed and voted upon by Representatives at the APAS General Meeting. 

Some resolutions touched upon at the meeting include:

  • Calling upon the Government of Saskatchewan to reject the Saskatchewan Growth Coalition’s proposed Effective Mill Rate Ratio of 0.75 - 2.0
  • Express disappointment with both the provincial and federal governments regarding the decision to not allow zero-tillage offset protocols for prairie producers and advocate further for the recognition of producer achievements in sequestering carbon through farming practices
  • Ensuring the “What If” crop insurance scenarios and predicted prices be made available by the middle of December for the 2023 and future crop years. 

“These resolutions give APAS a good sense of direction for the year ahead,” Newly elected APAS President Ian Boxall said. “This ensures producers will have their voices heard as we lobby various levels of government to ensure these resolutions are acted upon.”
