Well-known former pedigreed seed grower Warren Kaeding will represent the Saskatchewan Party in the Melville-Saltcoats constituency in the next provincial election.
Kaeding won a contested nomination to replace incumbent Bob Bjornerud, the former agriculture minister who has represented the area since 1995.
Bjornerud had previously an-nounced that he would not seek re-election.
An agrologist, Kaeding has several irons in the fire: executive director of Sask. Farm Stewardship Association.; advisor to the Sask. Agriculture Development Fund; crop inspector with Maxcor Ventures; and a business development representative for Input Capital.
He received his agriculture degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 1985 and operated Wagon Wheel Seeds along with his wife, Carla, and two sons, until 2012.
