Saskatchewan has become the first province to become an official partner of the Agriculture More Than Ever campaign.

The awareness initiative started by Farm Credit Canada earlier this year fits with the sentiments expressed by provincial agriculture minister Lyle Stewart when he was named to the portfolio in May.

Stewart said then that agriculture hadn’t done a good job of telling its story and had to educate urban people.

Agriculture More Than Ever is designed to help people understand the industry.

Stewart and FCC chief executive officer Greg Stewart signed a partnership agreement in Regina today.
