Four candidates vie for a seat on pulse growers board

Sep 10, 2025 | 4:14 PM

An election will be needed to determine who will sit at the directors table with the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers (SPG).

Four candidates have been nominated for the three positions that will be open in January.

Dan Flynn from the Lucky Lake area farms roughly 18,000 acres of which 25 to 45 per cent can be in pulse production with the primary pulse crop red lentils. Flynn has been a member of SPG in the past, serving on the Finance Committee and as Vice Chair.

Robyn (Waldenberger) Henry farms near Hodgeville with her husband, Scott, and their two boys, Owen and Graham. They grow lentils, chickpeas, durum, and canola. Henry has been an agrologist for the past 15 years in southwest Saskatchewan, where she owns and operates Bird’s Eye Agronomic Consulting. She had served one term on the SPG board.

Stuart Lawrence farms south of Rosetown, producing lentils, chickpeas, barley, canary seed, durum and canola. He is running for re-election to SPG’s board to provide continued leadership and experience on the issues affecting pulse producers in Saskatchewan.

Voter packages, including a six-digit ID number required for the electronic voting process, will be mailed to registered pulse growers in late October in a green envelope. A registered pulse grower is someone who has sold a pulse crop and paid a levy to SPG in the last three years.

Voting opens at www.saskpulsevotes.com at at 8 a.m. CST on Nov. 1 and remain opening until 4 p.m. CST on Nov. 30.

If growers prefer to vote with a paper ballot, the voter package will provide contact information to request a mail-in ballot.
