“Women play an important role in agriculture and Saskatchewan’s rural communities. They are business owners, farm and ranch operators and leaders, and they have been key players in the agriculture industry’s growth.  I commend the work they do in their communities, in their businesses and for the province.”
– Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart

“Rural Women’s Month is an opportunity to recognize the leadership roles that rural women play in their family agricultural operations and as entrepreneurs and business owners. Their leadership in promoting partnerships and connecting communities to the consumer is keeping our rural areas viable, while ensuring a sustainable economic future for our young leaders of tomorrow.”
 – Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women Donna Harpauer
