“Whether it’s visiting a farm, meeting an agriculture professional or exploring how food makes its way from field to table, these experiences help students build a deeper understanding of agriculture and the important role it plays in their lives,” Shymko said. 

Over the past three years, Acres for Education has raised more than $175,000, directly impacting more than 40,000 Saskatchewan students. In 2025 alone, donors contributed $43,250, with an additional $25,000 matched by JGL, helping more than 4,300 students experience a farm or agricultural event firsthand. 

JGL CEO Shea Jameson said agriculture has provided opportunities for generations of Saskatchewan families. 

“We’re proud to partner with Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan and support a campaign that helps students experience agriculture firsthand,” Jameson said. “By investing in agricultural education today, we build stronger connections to our industry for years to come.”  

The campaign runs from Oct. 21 to Dec. 31. All donations will receive a charitable tax receipt.
