Long-time Saskatchewan agrologist Grant McLean has died.
McLean, who from 2009 until his retirement in 2013 was the face and voice of the provincial crop report, died Oct. 9 in Moose Jaw. He was 67.
He spent his entire career with the ministry, beginning as an assistant ag rep in Swift Current in 1971 before moving to Carnduff, where he spent most of his working life.
He worked briefly in Outlook before moving to the Agriculture Knowledge Centre in Moose Jaw, where he became the main public source providing agricultural updates in the crop report.
His obituary described him as devoted to his family, faith and profession, a gardener, outdoorsman and musician.
McLean is survived by his wife, Cathy, daughters Renise and Raelene, several grandchildren, siblings, nieces and a nephew.
