On January 11, 2021 our one-hour AGM will be held virtually from 12:30 to 1:30. Access by telephone will be available for growers who are unable to join online so they too can participate. After the AGM the market outlook for forages, including alfalfa seed, will be presented.

This virtual AGM will be a first for SFSDC, but we are not alone. On January 11-13, 2021 the Saskatchewan Crop Organizations 2021 AGMs have been arranged so growers may easily participate in one or more virtual AGMs of twelve SK check-off funded crop groups and the Saskatchewan Seed Growers Association. For more information and/or to register, please go to www.saskcrops.com- registration opens December 1, 2020.

You will receive a ticket confirmation from Eventbrite once you have completed your registration and the event organizer will forward contact information to the organizers of each AGM selected by the attendee when registering. As in past events, attendees who are not registered growers are welcome to observe any online AGMs.

SFSDC will mail all forage seed growers who contributed the forage seed levy in the last two years additional information about the AGM in the December Prairie Seeds Newsletter. Stay tuned as we work out the details and please follow us on social media.
