It is day 10 of Agriculture Month in Saskatchewan. I have only had the pleasure of meeting today\u2019s author, Shayla Hertz, once, but I have been awed and inspired by her mother, Alanna<\/a> Koch for years. Like Shayla, I have also travelled the world, and also like her, I am proud of the amazing (and safe!) ways Saskatchewan raises and grows food. Enjoy!!!<\/p>\n

October is Agriculture Month, a time to celebrate something we are all connected to and by. Food.<\/p>\n

Ag Month is about celebrating how food grown on farms gets to our tables, how this food is healthy and nutritious, how it\u2019s affordable, how this food is safe, and how truly sustainable this food is. These are values everyone shares in Saskatchewan. These are values we are united by across the globe, people simply prioritize them differently.<\/a>
This weekend is Thanksgiving. I\u2019ll be with my family. Many are\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
