A New Approach to Leasing Agricultural Crown Land
CANADA, October 28 - Released on October 28, 2026
The Ministry of Agriculture is introducing a new ongoing allocation approach for agricultural Crown land leases. Starting November 9, 2026, lease opportunities will be offered online through McDougall Auctioneers Ltd. on an ongoing basis as they become available.
"Saskatchewan producers rely on access to agricultural Crown land to support their operations and grow their businesses," Agriculture Minister David Marit said. "By moving to an ongoing allocation model, we are providing a transparent and accessible process that better aligns lease opportunities with producer needs and supports a strong and competitive agriculture sector."
The new approach creates a more responsive lease allocation process by offering eligible agricultural Crown land, including expired leases, as they become available, rather than through a single annual offering. Online lease allocations ensure fair access and public transparency by treating all agricultural producers equally. Interested bidders must meet the eligibility requirements outlined on saskatchewan.ca. Lease opportunities will be posted online at saskatchewan.ca/crownlands and mcdougallauction.com.
The Government of Saskatchewan remains committed to ensuring that agricultural Crown lands remain accessible to producers for agricultural purposes.
