‘Focus Saskatchewan’ explores the province’s changing agriculture industry

Focus Saskatchewan is back with a brand-new episode.

Last week, Global News took viewers through the life of Shamarika Kane and how she survived one of the largest tumors doctors have seen. As well, viewers experienced how the Government of Saskatchewan’s throne speech was overshadowed by the appearance of a former convicted killer.

In episode four, Focus Saskatchewan will explore three unique topics, the first of which focuses on Saskatchewan’s changing agriculture industry.

With climate change reducing grazing land and feed yields, as well as fewer farmers going into the sector, Global News looks at the challenges facing Saskatchewan cattle farmers and the potential solutions.
