Farming for Health

Farming for Health is a local initiative that began in 2012. Agricultural businesses and independent farmers come together each year to farm land owned by The City of Yorkton. The profits from each year's harvest are donated to the Health Foundation. and put towards specific goals.

The Farming for Health committee announced that $203,399.70 was raised during the

2024 crop year. Co-chair Wade McNeil of Agratactics Agronomy announced the results at The Health Foundation Gala. These funds will be used to help purchase a new chemistry analyzer for the lab of the Yorkton Regional Hospital.

Farming for Health Announces $203,400 Raised in 2024!

There is a lot of work to farming this land; the businesses involved set aside their own business for a period of time to donate time, equipment or product to make this project successful. This project is a success because the people involved care.
