Saskatchewan is often referred to as the breadbasket of Canada because of all the grains produced in this Prairie province. Its vast array of wide open spaces, flat land and rich agricultural soil makes it an ideal place to grow field crops. The province is also among the world’s largest exporters of various field crops, such as canola. Data from the 2021 Census of Agriculture show how the province leads the country in the cultivation of cereal grains, oilseeds and pulses.
