The Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan (CFS) is a non-profit, farmer-funded marketing board for Saskatchewan’s chicken farmers. Through regulation and agreements with the Chicken Farmers of Canada, the CFS sets the allocation of chicken to its farmers in a supply managed system. The CFS also operates in close relation to the registered processing plants and negotiates prices on behalf of its farmers.

The Crop Rotation Survey, conducted through the College of Agriculture and Bioresources at the University of Saskatchewan, benchmarks the changes and advancements made in crop production over the past 30 years. The purpose of this project is to evaluate farmers’ progress towards sustainable on-farm practices. The data will be used to inform governments and the public about the improvements in crop production sustainability.

Participation in the Crop Rotation Survey helps give farmers a voice when it comes to GHG emissions, carbon sequestration, and land and soil stewardship. Farmers are continuously adopting innovative and sustainable practices to improve the environmental footprint of Prairie agriculture.

Participants who fully complete all sections of the Crop Rotation Survey will receive up to $200 in compensation.
