Dec 19, 2025 | 11:34 AM

It was a good year for crop growers in Saskatchewan.

Crop production reached a record 41.9 million metric tonnes (MMT) in 2025, a 13.7 per cent increase over 2024 and 24.1 per cent above the five-year average.

Agriculture Minister David Marit said this record production put the province within reach of the growth plan goal of 45 MMT by 2030.

“Despite challenges faced by many producers this growing season, overall Saskatchewan production was up this year thanks to the resilience and innovation of producers,” Marit said.

The major crops by production volume were spring wheat at 12.7 MMT, canola at a record high of 12.2 MMT, durum at 5.4 MMT, barley at 3.5 MMT, lentils at a record high of 2.9 MMT, dry peas at 1.8 MMT and oats at 1.8 MMT.
