Saskatchewan opens Farm Security Act public consultation

Saskatchewan residents can now give the provincial government their views on The Saskatchewan Farm Security Act through an online survey. The Government of Saskatchewan announced the consultation in a news release dated Oct. 13, as part of a review of the law.

The survey asks how people see the Act, how they use it and how well it works. It covers three areas: farm land ownership, how the home quarter is shielded, and what safeguards apply when a farm faces foreclosure.

The release says the survey takes 10 to 15 minutes and that answers are confidential. It is posted on saskatchewan.ca and stays open until Nov. 30, 2026. The release lists saskatchewan.ca/farmland-consultation as the place to take part.

Agriculture Minister David Marit said the government wants to hear from producers and residents in Saskatchewan. He said farm land is among the province’s most valuable assets, and the government wants the rules on its ownership and protection to keep serving people here.

According to the release, the government will use the survey data in its review of the Act. It says the goal is to get any changes right.

The release does not say which changes, if any, are being considered. It also does not say when the review will finish.
