About Sask Ag Today on 620CKRM
SaskAgToday on 620CKRM is a Saskatchewan-focused agriculture news program with the cadence of a local farm broadcast. It is built for utility. Ryan Young opens episodes with immediate conditions, sponsor context, and a clear map of the day’s farm stories, then moves through interviews, weather, policy, markets, and resource updates. The show pays close attention to what producers are dealing with now. Snowfall is not treated as scenery; it becomes a question of spring moisture, pasture conditions, road safety, and seeding-season timing. Land policy gets similar treatment. Recent coverage follows the provincial government’s comprehensive review of the Farmland Security Act, with attention to foreign farmland ownership and responses from government, advisory, board, opposition, and agriculture-media voices. The program also spends time on strychnine use, including expanded eligible areas and concerns from Saskatchewan SPCA. It is not only provincial. Episodes connect Saskatchewan farming to fertilizer supply pressure, the Strait of Hormuz, Middle East conflict, Indo-Pacific organic export opportunities, U.S. crop progress, Canadian wheat exports, and North American equipment sales. That wider lens matters because the show treats agriculture as a chain of connected pressures rather than a set of isolated headlines. Input costs, land values, trade rules, fuel policy, and food prices all show up as part of the same working economy. The format is familiar and steady. Farm Precision Weather with Phil Spivak appears in its usual spot, offering forecasts and temperature detail with producer relevance. Resource Report segments add market levels for the TSX, Dow, oil, the Canadian dollar, employment, transport, and related economic signals. Interviews and clips bring in figures such as David Merritt, Ken MacDonald, Kim McLean, Trent Witherspoon, Kevin Hirsch, Brennan Grant, Andrea Brockelbank, and others when their subjects fit the day’s agenda. The voice is conversational but still news-driven. A slippery commute can sit beside a farmland review, then the show pivots back to policy or prices. That mix gives SaskAgToday a distinctly regional feel: practical, current, and tied to the decisions Saskatchewan producers make in real time. It suits listeners who want farm news that stays close to the province while keeping one eye on global markets and supply chains.
Made for: For Saskatchewan producers, ranchers, ag retailers, rural business owners, and farm-policy followers who want local conditions tied to broader market forces.
What sets it apart: The show combines local farm-radio immediacy with policy interviews, market checks, and recurring weather detail, keeping Saskatchewan agriculture at the center while tracking national and global pressures.
