Saskatchewan agriculture gives us plenty to be proud of. From the farmers and ranchers who grow and raise our food to the ag businesses that continue to evolve and innovate, the province plays an important role in producing some of the world’s best and most sustainable food.
Agriculture Week, led by Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan, is an opportunity to celebrate that story together. Under the 2026 theme, “Celebrate Ag. Celebrate Together,” Saskatchewan residents were encouraged to learn more about where their food comes from, recognize the people behind it and celebrate the important role agriculture plays in our communities, economy and everyday lives.
One of the highlights of this year’s celebration was the annual #CelebrateAg Photo Contest, which invited people across the province to share their own snapshots of Saskatchewan agriculture.
A Community Comes Together to Celebrate Agriculture
This year’s #CelebrateAg Photo Contest received 155 photo entries and generated an impressive 3,794 votes, bringing people together to recognize the many faces and stories of Saskatchewan agriculture.
From garden harvests and flocks of lambs to prairie sunrises and everyday moments on the farm, the photographs captured the diversity of agriculture, food production and the people connected to the industry.
Each submission offered a unique perspective on what makes Saskatchewan agriculture special. Whether participants work in the industry, have a connection to a farm or simply appreciate the food grown and raised here, the contest provided an opportunity for everyone to take part in celebrating agriculture.
Together, the entries created a wonderful collection of photographs highlighting the people, places and everyday moments that make up Saskatchewan’s agricultural story.

Sharing the Stories Behind Our Food
The #CelebrateAg Photo Contest is about more than capturing beautiful images. It encourages people to look at agriculture from different perspectives and recognize the connections between farming, food and community.
A garden harvest, a flock of lambs or a sunrise over a prairie field may seem like simple moments, but each tells part of a much bigger story about the people, hard work and innovation behind Saskatchewan food production.
The photographs also provide Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan with a valuable collection of authentic agricultural images that may be used in future communications and promotional initiatives, helping share these stories with consumers throughout the year.

Celebrate Ag. Celebrate Together. All Year Long.
While Agriculture Week gives us a dedicated time to recognize Saskatchewan’s agriculture and food sectors, there are opportunities to celebrate throughout the year.
You don’t have to work in agriculture to be part of the story. Every time we learn where our food comes from, support local producers, ask questions or share a story about farming, we help build stronger connections between agriculture and the communities it feeds.
Saskatchewan agriculture is something we can all be proud of. The 2026 #CelebrateAg Photo Contest was a reminder that everyone has a role in sharing that story.
