The 180-hectare demonstration farm and training centre is to be located in Richardson, outside of Regina.
The Winnipeg-based Richardson has operated Kelburn Farm, a 200-hectare research farm just south of Winnipeg, since 1997.
The company says the Saskatchewan research farm will allow it to gather more accurate information on how crops and products perform in different growing environments.
Initial site work began last fall and the first crop was planted this spring.
