Saskatchewan+Agriculture

Saskatchewan is a vast region. It has almost half of Canada's total cultivated land. Agriculture is Saskatchewan's main source of income that is why it is so important to us. To me organic farming has had a great impact. Since i was born my dad has been an organic farmer. Living on an organic farm I learnt so much about how to control things without using simple methods like spraying fields to kill the weeds or giving a cow a shot of something to help it get better. Everything is so much more natural. I benefit from this organic food, i get to eat fresh organic foods everyday. Even the meat we have is organic, my dad has over 500 head of cattle that I help him feed. They are fed with the grains and forage from my dads organic fields. All the grain that doesn't go to the cows, witch is lots is packaged and shipped away to customers all over the world. This provides our farm with most of our money, but we also ship cattle. We ship about 40 of them every 2 months. Organic beef is sold at a very good price, we make 45 000$ + every time we sell a load. Agriculture is important for a lot of people in Saskatchewan as it is important for me, it is the thing to do when you live on the prairies.
