Local farmer believes wheat commission needs new direction
The agriculture industry is facing many changes in the years to come and one candidate for the upcoming Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (SWDC) Board of Directors elections feels it’s time the elected officials that provide governance for the commission followed suit.
Trevor Scherman, who owns and operates a farm between Battleford and Wilkie, believes the time is ripe for change with SWDC and that is why he is seeking a seat on the commission board.
“I have been approached by several area farmers who feel my expertise would be an asset to the board,” said Scherman. “The industry is changing and I feel the board has to change with it.”
Ten candidates are vying for four board of director positions on the SWDC. Area producers have until Nov. 24 to cast their ballots either online or by mail-in ballot.
