With the proliferation of AI technology and the use of farms, a new meaning is coming to the phrase “smart farming”. Technology is becoming more and more part of the work for producers, with many of the latest innovations on display at farm shows, such as Ag In Motion last week.

This summer has been a busy construction season in east central Saskatchewan. The ongoing Highway 5 project from Saskatoon continues, as does work on Highway 2 north of Highway 16.  With all of the construction that is happening, the province’s Minister of Highways, David Marit, is reminding drivers to slow down, exercise caution, and obey all the signage in work zones.

Saskatchewan’s Minister of Highways, David Marit, is reminding motorists to slow down, stay alert, and obey all signage in construction zones.
