Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says his government will pay for half of the cost to upgrade a road deemed “critical” for the farming sector, particularly for canola production.

The road, Grain Millers Drive, located north of Yorkton and about 190 kilometres northeast of Regina, has been called a “vital transportation corridor” by the provincial government. It said the road supports “significant economic activity” in the area. The road offers access to North America’s largest canola crush factory and an oat mill, the province said.
