Ag equipment program opens doors for next generation

Agricultural equipment dealers are working with Saskatchewan high schools to find a new generation of employees.

Many of the 125 farm dealerships in the province have at least a couple openings for agricultural equipment technicians.

The association anticipates additional openings in the future as current employees begin to retire. | For the full story, CLICK HERE
