Agriculture minister David Marit has outlined a new five year funding agreement with the Canada Farm Progress Show.

Marit says the province will provide 125-thousand-dollars over the next five years to support the show.

The new agreement maintains the 25-thousand-dollars a year provincial support provided over the last five years.

Marit calls the show a key gathering place for farmers, manufacturers and international buyers to develop business relationships.

He says the province is proud to sponsor a show that drives innovation and profiles Saskatchewan as a sound trading partner.

The  three day farm show attracts over 40-thousand farmers, manufacturers and industry officials for a global summit on dryland farming innovation.
