As wheat farming has declined in Saskatchewan, the production of other crops has become increasingly important to the province's agriculture sector. Specifically, there has been a notable increase in the cultivation of canola (rapeseed) and various specialty crops, including:
- Mustard1
- Peas1
- Lentils1
While wheat remains a major crop, the total amount of land dedicated to its production has decreased as farmers have diversified their output.1
