Greetings from the SYA office,

I would like to thank everyone who attended SYA events in 2017. The SYA Board of Directors and staff work to plan and host events that you the membership ask for. We have a board that is eager to serve the membership and sponsors. Please continue to reach out and let us know what you would like to see at coming events. We look forward to hosting you in 2018. SYA kicks off the year with this conference co-hosted with the CYFF. The conference is SYA’s signature event of the year and pride’s itself on the success of it. We will be spending the coming months planning for more SYA events and opportunities and we encourage you to stay up to date through social media and email updates. If you have any questions, always feel free to contact the SYA office. Enjoy the conference and have a good rest of your winter!

Carla Borsa, SYA General Manager

Greetings SYA members,

I would like to welcome you to the SYA annual general meeting. The SYA has had another busy year with events going on thought the year. We started out with a spring event which featured Lance Stockbrugger and Clinton Monchuk giving interactive presentations. That was followed up with a tour of Prairie Sun Brewery, supper and an evening of networking.

The SYA also took part in the annual Farmers Golf Tournament at the fantastic Harbor Golf in Elbow. SYA members took to the course and enjoyed a fabulous day of socializing and comradery followed by a banquet supper. Over the summer the board took part in Board of Governance training in Saskatoon. The ongoing training helps the board with their duties and allows a better functioning board. Everyone learnt something new and was eager to put their new found knowledge to use. The board followed up their training with some team building activities.

In November the SYA hosted a meet up and networking event at Agribition. Members stopped in to network with fellow members and enjoy some munchies followed by attending the opening night of the Agribition rodeo.

The SYA also had a booth at the crop production show and was where the SYA launched its new and modern website. The booth was well attended by members and is becoming an unofficial meet up place for members attending the show. Many stopped in to renew memberships and we also had lots of interest from people wanting to sign up as new members. Thank you to all of you who joined up for another year.

Look for more upcoming events in the year to come, watch our website and social media accounts for upcoming details. I would also like to thank our sponsors for their continued support of the SYA. These sponsors make all of our events possible. Please take the time to thank them and let them know they are appreciated.

MARKETS | FERTILIZER POPULAR DINING SPOT Time to lock in fertilizer prices? Increases coming | Analysts believe prices will rise within weeks

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Doug Chorney pre-booked his spring fertilizer but didn’t lock in a price because he thought it was too high at the time. Last week he got a call from his anhydrous ammonia supplier. “They thought this was the time to price it,” said the farmer from East Selkirk, Man. Chorney locked in a price of $1,050 per tonne delivered to the farm, which is down from $1,100 before Christmas.
